Chaotic chess arcade battle arena! 

In Chess Bonk, each player controls a lil chess master who can run around and pick up and put down pieces anywhere on the board. Each piece is given a "command" which controls its actions.

Game is still under development.
Currently we only have local multiplayer battle so you'll need 2 or more players. You can use controllers or  up to 3 people can share a single keyboard (WASD, Arrows, Numpad).

Please, work on this till the end. Delicious gameplay and design, good luck y'all.

WHY Controllers Required?
why not keyboard Controls?

Yo, we are still working on the game.
I just uploaded our latest post-jam build which supports a few different keyboard control schemes. We still only have local multiplayer, but at least with the latest build, up to 3 people can share a keyboard.
