Gigachess is a puzzle board hero defense. With your custom party of Knights, Rooks and Bishops, defend against the relentless waves of enemy Pawns running a blitz for the board's bottom. The seemingly unbreakable formations and constant downward march of your foe transform chess from slow burn to tactical rush in this deeply addictive single-player remix of turn-based strategy's ultimate grandmaster.

How long can you survive the pawn onslaught?

  • Endless mode with randomly-generated waves and a choice of 4 difficulty levels for a perpetual Pawn menace (now with Autosaves, Hyper states & Mutators!)
  • Puzzle Attack mode offering 40+ high-stakes, logic-testing stages to clear (now with Easy Mode!)
  • Knight's Dungeon mode providing a 40-stage set of knight's tour-inspired puzzles to maze through (now with a Level Editor!)

Do I have access to all versions of the game when I buy it?

v0.66 works better for me than the current v1.26 demo

Any chance of an Android build, please?
