Rodents Chess
Rodents Chessfree

Chess, checkers, ludo, puzzles and a roguelike journey, and the pieces are rodents! On a cheese-and-chocolate board in the middle of a garden picnic, the White Rats face the Black Rats. Rotate the board in 2.5D and watch every piece run, jump and fight.

The characters come from Ratudan Survivors. Made with the JSRat Engine (Three.js), with custom AI and synthesised sounds.
