Play it if you…

Skip it if you…

- Players looking for a conventional chess match may not want puzzle stages built around pushing pieces.
Our take on Piggy Gambit
The chess rules give the puzzles a defined logic, but that focus leaves less room for other kinds of gameplay. Custom level building extends play beyond the 50 crafted stages, though creating and sharing levels is a separate activity from progressing through the campaign.
What is Piggy Gambit?
Piggy Gambit is a puzzle game that combines chess-piece movement with box-pushing and flow-control elements.
Players push pieces around a board and apply chess rules to solve puzzles involving six types of pieces. The game includes 50 crafted levels and follows a piggy who travels toward the end of the world while trying to find a purpose. Its story is presented through humorous dialogue and a setting called the Chess Kingdom. After completing the game, players can edit levels and upload them to the Steam Workshop. A level-building feature also lets players create custom stages with adjustable parameters to challenge themselves or friends.
