Chessboxing: Round 1

Welcome to the ring... and the board.

Chessboxing: Round 1 is a game about doing two very different things: completing chess puzzles quietly, and punching people loudly. It’s a hybrid arcade game where your brain directly powers your brawn. The more puzzles you solve, the harder you punch.

How it Works

• Think: Stare at the board. Solve tricky chess puzzles to attack and secure handy power-ups before the bell rings.
• Punch: Step into the ring. Use the momentum you built playing chess to throw hands, land combos, and wear down your opponent.
• Repeat: The better you box, the more pressure they feel during the next chess phase. It's all connected.
• Win: Take them out with a brilliant checkmate, or a good old-fashioned knockout.

What's Inside

• 🥊 Solid, satisfying arcade boxing for when you just want to throw a good hook.
• ♟️ A steady stream of chess puzzles to keep your mind sharp between bouts.
• 🎮 Crisp pixel art and a chiptune soundtrack that hits the spot.
• 🏆 A high score system for when you feel like chasing your own personal best.
• 💾 A solo experience where the challengers get tougher as you get smarter (and stronger).

Grab your gloves and your bishops. Let's see if you can out-chess and/or out-punch them.
