The white king is victorious while showing a black king made me laugh a lot lol I feel like I lost... at least I was playing against myself so I kinda win anyway :)

Nicely done, I just wish I had someone to play against!
It's really a shame there's no AI, that ending made it all worth it though :p
Funny graphics and nice take on the theme
Thanks for the feedback, everyone! I'm uploading the first update. I inverted the colors on the victory screen (no idea what I was thinking). Also, it's now impossible to castle out of check. Luckily my chess-playing friend pointed this out to me when I showed him the game.
Funtimes! I love playing chess against myself.
This is actually pretty playable with two on my nexus 7. Not original by any means, but I could totally see busting this out waiting somewhere with friends. Thanks!
Playing chess against yourself is surprisingly tricky... From the name, though, I was expecting the chess to be a bit more ridiculous. Ah well! :)
It's not very innovative, but I guess it could turn out in a lot of fun when playing seriously.
Not bad. I feel as thought the theme could have been implemented in more creative ways.
Heheh that was pretty nice! The shabby looking pieces are rather cute :]
Remind me of the Real time chess game , disturbing to play on a desktop and to see all these chess pieces reversed :)
OH MY GOD YOUR GAME IS SO BAD -1/10 UNINSTALL WINDOWS
In all seriousness, pretty good job. See if you can take more than 12 hours next time, and get a larger game done.
@vandriver Awesome! I'm really glad someone tried it out on an Android. Honestly, that's how it was meant to be played.
@junkmail I read your post before seeing who you were... Good one. :P Next time I'll definitely do something original.
It's a solid chess game, it's really responsive and has a good UI, but it's not really as "Ridiculous" as the name implies :P Maybe you could mix it up with some sort of gimmick or clever mechanic?
This game looks cool, 12 hours to make this, wish you had more time to make it larger, add more rules to chess ;)
Yeay, I won against myself!
That's how I try to play chess sometimes. ^^
You have no time to think so you must think fast.
It could be cool if you managed to make a chess AI (I know, it's not easy, MinMax might work as an algorithm).
The best is the horse :D
I tried drawing a better horse like three times... just couldn't do it. :P
Adorable. Nice to see something other than a platformer. I like the timer for each turn.
good game especially for 12 hrs nicely done.
The idea about Chess in 10 seconds per move is great. A super lame AI will be enough that way...
I love how you can just leave your king in check or even go like "Suicide time!"...
