What is Chessplosion?

In this top-down action puzzle game, you place bombs to trigger chain reactions and trap opponents while dodging attacks. Adventure stages pit you against enemies and bosses, while randomized dungeon runs send you after the Grandblaster Crown. Other modes include limited-bomb target puzzles, survival challenges, and local or online battles for up to four players.

For you if...

+you enjoy juggling movement, timing, and attack patterns
+you want adjustable health, lives, and game speed

Not for you if...

−you want turn-based chess without real-time dodging
