    About Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate

    Chess, but all your army has gone over to the white side, leaving you with nothing but your royal shotgun and your wounded pride. Carried by your dark folly, you decide it's time to teach those white pieces to fear the Shotgun King.

    Every turn, you may either move your king or shoot at enemy pieces, after what you'll need to move again to reload your shotgun. Avoid checkmate and kill the enemy king to complete the floor.

Choose wisely and keep on winning floors and you just may get your kingdom back.

    Runs may take ~30 minutes to complete. The game features 5 difficulties, plus an endless mode and a blitz mode!
