IF CHESS MEETS POKÉMON AND ROGUELIKE, WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE?

After days in the "kitchen," my passion project is officially out! Let me introduce you to: POKÉCHESS + ROGUELIKE

INSANE GAME FEATURES:

  • 1,000+ Pokémon from Gen 1 to Gen 9 & Megas: Every Pokémon features a unique chess piece movement set. (Though solo-devving over 1,000 sprites definitely almost broke me!)
  • Evolution System: Accumulate match wins to evolve your Pokémon. Evolved forms inherit 100% of their previous form's moves while unlocking even crazier attack angles.
  • Authentic Pokémon Type Matchups & Status Conditions: Features all 18 elemental types (Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Dragon, Fairy, etc.) complete with TFT-style type synergy bonuses.
  • Skill Trees & Held Items (Talismans): Every 5 stages, earn points to upgrade your elemental skill trees (Poison, Steel, Fighting, etc.). Plus, iconic held items like Assault Vest, Rocky Helmet, and Air Balloon let you build insane game-winning combos!
  • Abilities: Pokémon abilities are fully integrated into tactical play.
  • Browser-Based Play: Smooth gameplay directly in your web browser (on both PC and mobile)—just open it up and play instantly with zero heavy downloads!

The game isn't fully balanced yet, so feel free to test it out and completely break the game!
