Who Takes The Crown?

Gameplay

Who Takes The Crown? is about controlling a little pawn and getting to the top of each level to claim your crown. Play through various chess games to build your platforms and climb higher and higher. Be careful though, much like the game of chess, the movement of your pawn requires timing and patience. One wrong maneuver could send you tumbling back down to the bottom of the level and start you over. It's not only about your platforming skill either. One blunder in any of the chess games could send you back as well!

Something for everyone!
Not a fan of rage games but like chess? Not to worry! Who Takes The Crown? has a Casual difficulty that lets you turn off the jump failure and features game boards that are more about puzzling than platforming.Like puzzle platformers but aren't as strong at chess? No problem! This game includes custom settings so you can adjust the Stockfish ELO and the difficulties of the chess positions to your desire. Looking for a hard challenge to put all your skills to the test? Who Takes The Crown? has challenges of all types including procedurally generated chess boards to conquer!
