Fairway Chess
Chess and golf, together at last. In this game, Chess pieces are not restricted to moving on a grid. Instead, you'll use your golf club to launch them across the battlefield! Capture enemy pieces by bumping into them, and capture the king to win.
Controls:
- Right Click & Drag to look around
- Scroll mouse wheel to zoom in and out
- Left Click to select a piece
- Q and E will cycle through the directions a piece can face
- A and D will adjust the piece's direction slightly
- Press Space to start the swing meter and stop it according to how far you want your piece to move

Really like the aesthetics and the sound the pieces make when they smack into each other
Something odd is going on on a1. Their knight jumped on my rook. (Game is hard locked from this)
I did it I beat the king I'm the greatest chess player ever.
Works okay, maybe a bit slow lack some sort of spice idk. Maybe make the movement more snappy or smth where they go very fast and then slow down.
The knights are really funny to play with, even if they move in a really not Knight way. I'm weirded out that pawns can take whats in front of them but I guess there's no other way. I feel like that's a lot of controls (just to navigate + 2 buttons to change direction + 2 buttons to slightly adjust the pieces, i dont think we really need the adjustement buttons). Maybe the direction the piece goes in depends of the camera, that would make it more golf-like? Because currently the game doesn't really justify the fact that it's 3D, besides maybe the Knight (I had a funny bug where it jumped and it stayed on top of my piece without killing it).
I think you should remove the ring that's around the board, make pieces be able to fall out of the board. Maybe favor knocking a piece out of the board as a way of killing them (that would make better use of your physics system?) than just having to touch it. Heck maybe add a hole in the middle of the board lol.
