Gambeat is all about building your engine and chasing high scores. Even losing your king is completely fine, as long as your build allows you to score enough points to reach the next target.

You build your engine between rounds by collecting different sticker types, combining them, and applying wild modifiers directly to the individual pieces in your roster.

We've been working on Gambeat for a little over two years now. It's a chess roguelike deckbuilder about building crazy combos and scoring as many points as possible.

Compared to the more serious look that a lot of tactics games lean toward, we went with something cozier. I've been curious how fans of the genre would feel about that, and now that we've finally announced the game, I can actually ask:

Do you think a cozy aesthetic could work for a the genre?

Start with pawns, end with clowns. Gambeat is a chess roguelike deckbuilder where you build a roster of evolving pieces, stack game-breaking stickers, and chase absurd high scores.

Gambeat is all about scoring points. Losing your king is completely fine, as long as you score enough points. In between rounds you get stickers to increase your score the next round. A big part of the game is modifying your pieces. They can turn into clowns, cute little robots, and much more.

Possibly an unconventional genre (for cozy gamers) wrapped in a charming aesthetic.

Happy to answer any questions.

Game is called Gambeat, go check it out!

Hi everyone! We’re two friends who spent the last two years building the exact game we wanted to play. It's a chess score chaser (shamelessly) inspired by Balatro, anarchy chess, and a few other games.
