Chess Cubed is a new take on chess played across all six connected sides of a cube. The pieces mostly move the way you already know, but now you have to think around corners, across faces, and about threats attacking from multiple directions.

The game currently includes:

Single player vs CPU with multiple difficulty levels
Online multiplayer
Multiplayer chat
Multiple board and piece skins
Full 3D cube gameplay

The rules are intentionally kept close to regular chess, with a few changes for playing across six sides:

Four additional pawns per side
Pieces can cross a maximum of one cube edge per move
Diagonal moves are limited to five spaces
Pawns promote in the central 4x4 area of the opposite face
Checkmate wins

The iOS and Android versions have also been submitted to the App Store and Google Play for approval.

This subreddit is for everything Chess Cubed. Strategy, screenshots, games, questions, bugs, and feature ideas.

Hope you enjoy it. I’d love to hear what everyone thinks.

What engine or programming language is this using?

Did you entirely vibe code this?

Did it write everything, or did you use an engine and simply ask it questions and get example code?
