Play Checkmate (Japan) (En,Ja) Online
Tiny chessboards where knights slide sideways and bishops jump—you’ll spend half your time laughing at the absurd rules, the other half scratching your head at how to corner that last pawn. Pure Game Boy charm with puzzles that twist chess into something fresh.
Game Overview
Checkmate on the Game Boy Color is one of those weird little puzzle games that somehow makes chess feel playful. You’ve got these tiny, colorful boards where every piece moves in unexpected ways—knights slide, bishops hop, and suddenly you’re grinning at how clever the solutions are. It’s chess, but not as you know it.
The first few levels trick you into thinking it’s simple, then bam—you’re staring at the screen for five minutes trying to figure out how to trap that one smug-looking pawn. The chiptune music and pixel art give it that cozy ‘90s handheld vibe, and the puzzles are just the right length for quick sessions. I kept coming back just to see what bizarre rule twist the next stage would throw at me.
If you like strategy games that don’t take themselves too seriously, this one’s a delight. It’s like someone took chess, gave it a shot of arcade energy, and squeezed it into a Game Boy cartridge.
