Chesstris 2000 is part block pushing game and part love letter to the forgotten tetris spinoffs of the 90s and 2000s. Throughout the game, players must navigate a chess piece attached to a tetris block to an exit square on the board. Eventually, players learn to master not only different chess pieces -- pawns, rooks, knights-- but also different tetromino shapes, line clears, and more!

A major focus of developing Chesstris 2000 involved not only making its puzzles fun, but also making its ~~vibes~~  coherent. An homage to titles like Tetris for Philips CD-i, Tetrisphere, Myst, educational software, the game features three different whimsical, soothing environments and a vaporwave soundtrack by Stevia Sphere

I had a lot of fun developing Chesstris 2000, and hope to revisit it with updates someday!

Be sure to follow me on Twitter for more projects!

V1.0.1: UI Piece Selection is friendlier now! Also some bugs about keyboard shortcuts are fixed.

V1.0.2: Further improvements with piece selection. Also, some features (motion blur, AA, shadows) were disabled on the Web version for added performance.

V1.0.3: Finally, (knock on wood) all bugs with piece selection are gone. Framerate is better (targeting 60 fps), big changes in performance on web build w/ batching / reduced draw calls. Also, the last level is harder >:)
