About

## Overview ##
This is a 2-player chess game inspired by double Ouroboros.
Each player controls a snake, and the goal is to eat up the other player's snake.

## Control ##
Click the chess pieces to play.
Chess pieces that can perform actions are marked with white flashes, and valid targets are marked with red.

## Tutorial ##

### 1 ###
Click on your Snakehead, and select then select another cell to target.

Snakehead can move up to 3 steps per turn.

### 2 ###
You can summon mythical creatures to battle for you.

Select Snakebody, and target an adjecent cell to summon a Mythical in your turn.

Mythicals can move 1 step per turn.

### 3 ###
When a Mythical moves, the cell where this Mythical leaves will become a Town.

Your Mythicals can't step back to your Towns, but they can attack your opponent's Towns.

### 4 ###
When your opponent disconnects a series of Mythicals and Towns controlled by you from your Snakebody or Snakehead, these Mythicals and Towns are removed from play.

### 5 ###
The last mechanic of this game is that you will spend or gain Mana depending your actions.

- Step to an empty cell: -1 Mana
- Summon a Mythical: -3 Mana
- Removing your opponent's units: +2 Mana (for each chess piece removed)

Each player's amount of Mana is shown at the corner of the display. Make sure you have enough Mana to support your strategy!

## Author's Thoughts ##

This game is designed to be a 1 vs 1 chess game, but I failed to squish time to implement AI opponents... (cry internally)

Anyway, I am still content with my entry this time. It's the first time I've solo'd finishing the whole run: designing, graphics, audio, etc. A great experience.
