Repeated intro
Hey everyone, solo dev here! Just pushed a quick update to the game featuring some extreme endgame goals and a fun little secret. Here is the direct info:
What changed
- Gameplay
Pixel Chess Idle RPG changes
🏆 Two new "IMPOSSIBLE" achievements! Think you’ve mastered the custom Chess RPG engine? Prove it. We’ve added two new achievements specifically for the local Practice vs AI training mode:
Grandmaster's Dawn: Defeat the AI playing as White.
Grandmaster's Eclipse: Defeat the AI playing as Black.
These are tagged as IMPOSSIBLE in the menu and styled with a glowing neon-magenta theme. Standard campaign stats and abilities are fully disabled in practice mode, so this is a pure test of tactical chess skill.
🤫 Can you find the secret party?
I’ve hidden a secret easter egg in the game that completely changes the vibes of the board.
I won't spoil the exact inputs, but here are some hints:
On Keyboard: It's a 5-letter word associated with glowing lights, retro dance floors, and the 70s. Just type it in-game.
On Controller: It uses the D-pad and follows a classic cheat code sequence (7 directions total, starting with a lot of Ups).
If you enter it correctly, you'll activate a hidden game mode where the pieces start grooving, the board goes neon, and everyone gets a cool new accessory.
Let me know if you manage to unlock the achievements or trigger the secret!
