Ouroboros Chess (LudumDare#47)

## Overview ## This is a 2-player chess game inspired by double Ouroboros. Each player controls a snake, and the goal is to eat up the other player's snake. ## Control ## Click the chess pieces to play. Chess pieces that can perform actions are marked with white flashes, and valid targets are marked with red. ## Tutorial ## ### 1 ### Click on your Snakehead, and select then select another cell to target. Snakehead can move up to 3 steps per turn. ### 2 ### You can summon mythical creatures to battle for you. Select Snakebody, and target an adjecent cell to summon a Mythical in your turn. Mythicals can move 1 step per turn. ### 3 ### When a Mythical moves, the cell where this Mythical leaves will become a Town. Your Mythicals can't step back to your Towns, but they can attack your opponent's Towns. ### 4 ### When your opponent disconnects a series of Mythicals and Towns controlled by you from your Snakebody or Snakehead, these Mythicals and Towns are removed from play. ### 5 ### The last mechanic of this game is that you will spend or gain Mana depending your actions. - Step to an empty cell: -1 Mana - Summon a Mythical: -3 Mana - Removing your opponent's units: +2 Mana (for each chess piece removed) Each player's amount of Mana is shown at the corner of the display. Make sure you have enough Mana to support your strategy! ## Author's Thoughts ## This game is designed to be a 1 vs 1 chess game, but I failed to squish time to implement AI opponents... (cry internally) Anyway, I am still content with my entry this time. It's the first time I've solo'd finishing the whole run: designing, graphics, audio, etc. A great experience.
