Mess the Chess!

Development Time: 1 Week

Overview:

Mess the Chess is a third-person, local PVP game for 2 players to fight against each other. The goal of the game is similar to the traditional Chess game: get the King! To do so, you will need to strategically launch your pawns to get special items, push your opponents' pawns, and even push your own pawns to place them in a better location. Whoever pushes the opponent’s King off the boundary first is the winner.

Goal:

Push the king off the edge!

Controls(keyboard):

Left Mouse Button: Click and drag to adjust launching angle and distance, release to launch pawn.

Esc: Pause Game.

Pawns:

    King: Heaviest piece, has the lowest speed, shooting range, and bounciness.

     Queen: Most power piece, has the highest weight and speed and can blow other pawns away.

     Exorcist(Former Bishop): Has mid status but is able to dispel ghosts when bumping into them.

     Zombie(Former Rook): Has high weight and spins when launching, able to push several pawns at one shot.

    Knight: Lightweight piece, can pass through soldier but will hit other pawns.

     Soldier: Has low speed and low weight, will be killed by the ghosts if bump into them, but can change to random pieces when colliding with a gravestone.

Items:

    Ghost: Able to kill soldiers but will be dispelled by Exorcist.

    Breakable Crate: Will be destroyed after 1 hit.

    Gravestone: Changes the soldier to a random piece(Queen, Exorcist, Zombie, or Knight)

   Exploding Barrel: When a piece collides with it, that piece will hold the barrel for 3 turns. When the number changes to 3, the barrel will explode and all the pawns within range(except the pawn that's holding it) will be destroyed.

   Sticky Floor: Lower the pawn's speed when land on them.
