Game Title
Glitchess

Description
Glitchess is a minimalist puzzle-strategy game where a strange glitch has corrupted the rules of chess.
You control a lone White pawn, but every move triggers a glitch — your piece transforms into something new: a knight, a rook, a bishop… maybe even a queen.

Your mission: capture the Black King.
Your obstacle: the board itself — a distorted battlefield where logic still applies, but never for long.

Developed for the AUT Gamecraft 2025 by Kaveh Pajouheshi & Amirreza Kianpour
