About this game
Chess, but without the bureaucratic back-and-forth of actually taking your turns. There's no time to waste in this hectic re-imagining of your favorite checkered strategy game. Blink once, and it's Checkmate!
Every time you move a piece, you lose some mana- But every second, you gain some mana. Save it up to launch a 4-pronged assault, or move one piece at a time to keep your enemy on their toes! Both players move simultaneously, so quick-witted maneuvers are just as important as long-term strategy!
A single match can last anywhere between 10 seconds and 10 minutes. Hyper Chess features over a dozen unique Chess Sets to collect, several unique game modes to spice up the fun, and local/online multiplayer.

Art Update & Thank You!
Hey everybody, it's Grouch! I just want to give a big THANK YOU to everyone who downloaded Hyper Chess!I was 13 years old when I came up with the idea for this game. That was 11 years ago. Even back then I knew that one day I'd be able to build it, but never in my wildest DREAMS did I think that this many people- 11,000 so far- would actually play it. It still doesn't feel real to me. If you're reading this: Thank you. You made my childhood dreams come true.Read full article on Community Announcements (Grouch)
