Description
Pit Chess is a single-player puzzle game inspired by chess, as well as games like Drop7 and SpellTower.
How to Play
Capture pieces of the opposite color, and build up your multiplier for even more points!
Capturing a pawn will reduce your multiplier to 1x, but it will keep more pieces from falling into play.
Pieces will drop into the play area when you donโt capture a pawn, and if there arenโt enough open columns to accommodate the number of pieces that will fall (Pieces To Fall), itโs game over.
If you make a move without capturing any pieces, the Pieces To Fall number increases, making it harder to stay alive!
It helps to have a prior knowledge of chess, but the pieces donโt always move exactly the same way. However, bishops and knights do.
Pawns can only move up and to the right or left, and only to attack.
Rooks can only move horizontally.
Queens can do anything a rook or bishop can do.
Kings can move one space in any direction, or swap spaces with an adjacent piece of the same color.

Cool idea. It's fun to see old ideas mashed up with new ones.
I got here from a review on Play This Thing (http://playthisthing.com/pit-chess) which mentions this game with a similar idea: http://chesstris.com/actionchess/

Interesting concept. I'd like to see better graphics - I was quite confused which piece was which. I don't think I saw a King. Sometimes a piece would not move the way it should. eg a rook would not take a piece to its side, a Queen would not move at all.
