Made a chess game where you can cast spells (Freeze, Shield, Teleport) — my first solo release

Hey r/SoloDevelopment,

Just shipped my game Chess Spell. It's normal chess, but you also get a deck of spells — freeze the enemy, shield your piece, teleport, that kind of thing. Wanted to make chess feel fresh again.

Has real-time PvP, dark-mode 2D graphics, and it's free-to-play / no pay-to-win.

Building it solo was a grind, especially balancing the spells against classic chess rules. Still iterating on that.

Would love any feedback, on the mechanics or the game itself. AMA about the process if you're curious.
