Chess Move Capture the King Online Game Play Instructions

• Starting the Game
  • Press the play button on the game’s welcome screen to start the game.
  • This will bring up the level select screen.
    • Each level needs beat to unlock the subsequent levels.
    • Unlocked levels are in a blue to purple hue (depending on your monitor settings) and locked levels are gray.
    • Your game progress is automatically stored in your local web browser.
• Game Controls
  • Playing
    • The bottom of the game contains three buttons: level select menu, sound control, and restart level.
      • You get unlimited plays on this game, so if you make a mistake press the restart level button.
    • Move pieces around the playing field to make it so that one of the pieces can reach the red king.
    • All game pieces move the same way they do on a traditional chess board.
      • For players who are unfamiliar with chess, traditional chess piece movements are shown below & clicking on a piece will reveal what squares it can move to.
      • One thing to note is pieces fall from the force of gravity. If you are not placing a piece on a square with something directly beneath it then the piece will fall until it hits something else.
      • One each level you start with a limited number of pieces rather than having all pieces available.
    • In many cases pieces will need to play off one another to solve the puzzles.
      • In most puzzles you need a piece to stand on another piece to unlock the ability to traverse the level.
      • Be careful when moving pieces off of platforms unless you are sure there is a way to move them back to higher levels if needed.
    • Yellow walls
      • You can stand on thin and thick yellow walls.
      • Your pieces may move through thin yellow walls, though they typically can not move through thick yellow walls unless it is done diagonally through an opening in the edge.
    • As you get into further levels you have to grab keys to unlock squares as part of the levels.
    • Pawns can be promoted if they reach the top of the playing field.
      • When a pawn is promoted you can choose what sort of piece to promote it to.
      • If you choose the wrong piece type it will be impossible to beat certain levels.
    • The dimensions of the playing field do not match a traditional chess board.
      • Rather than an 8 by 8 square the dimensions on this game are 16 squares wide by 10 squares tall.
  • Scoring
    • When you capture the competing red king with any one of your blue pieces the game is beat.
  • Mouse
    • Click on a piece to select it. This will highlight what squares you can move it to.
      • If you highlight a square which has nothing underneath it then your piece will first move to that square and then fall until it touches something.
    • Repeat the process until you have moved your pieces to capture the red king.
  • Touchscreen
    • Use your finger like a mouse and tap on the pieces you want to highlight and move.

Strategies

• This game requires thinking multiple steps ahead to beat.
  • If you feel stuck think orthogonally of alternate ways to get through the level.
  • You can also ask for help in the comments below if you are stuck on a particular level.
• One of the biggest obstacles in this game is gravity.
  • Be sure you either have a way to move a piece back up the playing field if you drop it or that you will not need to do so.
• Mistakes happen!
  • This game does not have an undo button, so if you make a mistake click the level restart button at the bottom of the screen.
