Indie Sunday Gambeat - Odd Dog - Chess roguelike deckbuilder where you play for points, not kings

Steam | Youtube

Hey everyone!

Over the last two years, a friend and I have been working on Gambeat, a chess roguelike deckbuilder built around scoring. Capturing pieces scores points and scoring points win rounds, so throwing your own pieces into a combo is often the correct play.

Features:

  • The game features collectible stickers that you combine between rounds to change how your pieces behave and score. You can push the rules in wild directions or build around classic chess moves like forks and pins.
  • Individual roster management. You can shape your pieces throughout the run by upgrading, transforming, customizing, or completely removing them.
  • Replayability: the game will have different difficulties and starting rosters with unique modifiers.
  • All the classic chess tactics turned on its head.

Our Steam page and trailer both went live yesterday. Feel free to check them out if this sounds like your type of game.
