About This Game

Short Description

A pixel-art puzzle game that combines pseudo-coding with turn-based mechanics. Reconstruct logic and break the rules in simple, intuitive ways—create bizarre phenomena to solve puzzles and progress through each level, all while uncovering the mysteries hidden behind this enigmatic game.

Gameplay Overview

At first glance it’s a simple turn-based tactics game: guide a tiny dinosaur to defeat enemy dinos. Yet the world is lethal—razor claws, fireballs, and traps all threaten instant death.

But Dino Chess is far deeper. You can literally open the game’s backend and edit modular code that governs unit behavior and the rules themselves!

• Examples,Want the enemy’s claw attack? Drag its [Claw] command onto your [Spacebar]. Press Space and—slash!—you now claw too.

• Enemy camping in place? Feed it your own [Move] command and watch it march itself into a pit.

• Feeling wild? Change [On Fireball Hit] from [Die] to [Heal]. Getting blasted now restores HP instead of ending you!

Even more absurd, reality-bending combos await your discovery.

Unleash your imagination, create incredible solutions to each level, and explore the secrets behind the game. Welcome to the world of Dino Chess!
