## What is Novamate?

Play chess like never before — in the depths of space. Novamate reimagines the classic game with glowing celestial pieces that teleport through wormholes, capture in bursts of stardust, and float above living cosmic boards.

FULL 3D CHESS
• Orbit the board in real 3D — pinch to zoom, drag to spin.
• Play a friend pass-and-play, or challenge the AI across four levels: Training, Easy, Medium, Hard.
• A built-in Hint button suggests your best move whenever you're stuck.
• Complete rules: castling, en passant, promotion, check and checkmate.

UNLOCKABLE COSMIC BOARDS
• Earn eight distinct arenas — Nebula, Neon Grid, Golden Nova, Emerald Field, Crimson Void, Ice Crystal, Solar Flare, and Galaxy Marble.
• Each board transforms the entire atmosphere: lighting, fog, starfields, and glow.

MINI-GAMES
• Laser Slice — a live laser follows your finger; slash the flying pieces, but avoid the bombs!
• Space Chesskers — checkers on the cosmic board, with pieces that teleport via black holes and promote from pawns to queens.

MORE
• Track your record against every AI level.
• Immersive synthesized sound effects (with a one-tap mute).
• No account required. Play offline.

Free to play, supported by ads.
