Chesstris 2000

NOTE: For performance reasons, some effects are disabled in the Web version

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!

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 >:)
