Chess with stop-motion duels

Free · In‑App Purchases

Apple Vision

Put a tiny 1-bit battlefield on your real table. Every capture is a stop-motion duel. Unlock the Robots: a transforming army that fights in red vs blue. 1-Bit Gambit is chess for Apple Vision Pro in the crisp black-and-white pixels of a late-'80s computer, and every piece is a stop-motion puppet. Set the board on a real table, reach out, pick up a piece and put it down. When you capture, the two pieces fight it out. • Every capture is a duel. Pieces close in, wind up and strike. The killing blow freezes time, flashes the loser to negative, and it falls apart. • Iron & Stone: spearmen, knights, war-bishops, a warrior queen, a warlord king, and a castle tower that bursts into a stone golem to move. • Play with your hands. Pinch a piece to lift it, see where it can go, and let go over a square. The piece you're looking at glows, so you always know what you'll pick up. • Play the CPU, pass the headset to a friend, or sit back and watch the CPU play itself. • Full chess rules: castling, en passant, promotion, check, checkmate and draws. Undo, and chiptune sound effects. The Full Game, a one-time purchase, adds: • Robots: an original army that folds into vehicles to move and stands up to fight with blasters, cannons and beams. Play them in red vs blue, or in black and white. • The Wizard, the strongest CPU.
