Hyper Chess

About this game

Chess, but without the bureaucratic back-and-forth of actually taking your turns. There's no time to waste in this hectic re-imagining of your favorite checkered strategy game. Blink once, and it's Checkmate!

Every time you move a piece, you lose some mana- But every second, you gain some mana. Save it up to launch a 4-pronged assault, or move one piece at a time to keep your enemy on their toes! Both players move simultaneously, so quick-witted maneuvers are just as important as long-term strategy!

A single match can last anywhere between 10 seconds and 10 minutes. Hyper Chess features over a dozen unique Chess Sets to collect, several unique game modes to spice up the fun, and local/online multiplayer.
