Underrated game that provides instant fun and laughs. I'm surprised it's not more popular. The gameplay has a surprising depth that takes a bit of time to fully unveil; for example the fact that each piece has its own speed, and I think maybe even its own collision shape? This leads to pretty funny situations. Sometimes you can make a comeback with just your King with good positioning and timing. Sometimes you win by making 4 moves quickly with only your pawn and getting to the opponent's king. I could go on. I encourage you to try and explore this gameplay with a friend, you're in for good laughs and "absolute cinema" moments. A bit too bad that there is no AI and that I've had some input issues in the UI sometimes, but these are easily circumvented, and honestly I understand the dev wanted to focus on the essential, which they did successfully IMO.

It could really use a single player bot. The cute anime girl puts this in the positive for me.

Hyper chess is by far the best "chess but different" ever made. 5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel is a fun game, but a lot of the enjoyment just comes from the absurdity of the concept and it's hard to ever truly grasp the idea of getting checkmates from five parallel universes away. Hyper Chess, on the other hand, is simple, intuitive, and completely changes how you look at the game without significantly changing any of the rules. En passant and castling are gone, and you win by actually capturing the king (since being in check doesn't really exist when the king is capable of dodging). The strategy of the game changes completely in a fresh and novel way when players are able to make multiple rules at once or in a row, but the fundamentals of how pieces threaten each other isn't changed at all and boards often end up in similar states to what you'd see in a regular game - just with the occasional rook or bishop carving out multiple enemy pieces in one movement or a queen bowling over her own pawns to get out on the board sooner. If you understand the basic rules to chess, you can play Hyper Chess and figure out what's going on immediately, and it's loads of fun.
