About the Game

CHARK is a chess roguelike about risk, synergies, and precise calculation.

Build combos from piece-cards, take two moves per round, survive the enemy’s response, and hit the score target to advance. Every choice is tempo, position, and cash for upgrades.

Tutorial

Each round you see three cards but may play only two. Click a card to reveal all legal moves on the 5×5 board. Shift, set up an exchange, or force a tactic—then enemies step toward you. If you end your turn in danger, you lose a life. After each level you earn money, plus a bonus for unused hands. Spend it in the Shop on Artifacts: they bend the rules in your favor and open new lines of play.

For Publishers and Partners

I’m open to collaboration and looking for a publisher. I’m ready to discuss terms, including a 60/40 revenue share. I’m seeking a partner with QA/marketing support and PC/Steam launch expertise (mobile optional). A playable demo is available; the project is built in Unity. Reach out to discuss the roadmap and budget.
