Royal Jewels

Royal Jewels: A Chess-Themed Puzzle AdventureRoyal Jewels combines the strategic movement of chess with the addictive mechanics of match-3 puzzle games in a royal court setting where chess pieces represent precious gems in the kingdom's collection.

Game Overview

In Royal Jewels, you'll navigate through a grid of chess-inspired royal gems, each with unique movement patterns based on traditional chess rules. Select a jewel and move it to capture another, creating cascading effects as new gems fall into place. Match three or more identical jewels in a row or column to clear them from the board and add them to the royal treasury!

Key Features:

• Royal Chess Movement: Each jewel moves according to classic chess rules - pawn gems advance forward, knight gems leap in L-shapes, bishop gems travel diagonally, rook gems move in straight lines, queen gems combine bishop and rook movements, and king gems can step one space in any direction.

• Strategic Capturing: Instead of simple swapping, you capture gems! This creates empty spaces in the royal grid that trigger cascading effects as new jewels fall from above.

• Royal Combo System: Chain together multiple matches for increasing treasury bonuses. The longer your combo chain, the more valuable your collection becomes!

• Royal Decree Special Power: Fill your decree meter by making matches, then activate a powerful royal proclamation that clears multiple gems at once, dramatically reshaping the board.

• Classic Pixel Art: Enjoy charming pixel art chess jewels and colorful animations in this PICO-8 retro-styled game set in a royal court.
