Chess, but all your army has gone over to the white side, leaving you with nothing but your royal shotgun and your wounded pride. Carried by your dark folly, you decide it's time to teach those white pieces to fear the Shotgun King. Every turn, you may either move your king or shoot at enemy pieces, after what you'll need to move again to reload your shotgun. Avoid checkmate and kill the enemy king to complete the floor. After each floor, you may choose between two random combinations of one upgrade for you and one upgrade for the other side. Choose wisely and keep on winning floors and you just may get your kingdom back. Runs may take ~20 minutes to complete. The game features 15 ranks of difficulty, unlockable cards, over 100 achievements to complete, an endless mode, and now a chase mode where you get continually assailed from all sides!

Welcome to the depot. Space is tight, parcels keep coming, and the robot has no intention of slowing down. Move the loader, line up a shot, and hurl each parcel into the pile. Matching freight merges into bigger cargo, but bigger cargo lands harder. Keep the stack below the danger line. Merge through ten freight tiers, charge SHAKE to rescue a bad stack, and hit both side rails to make the loader faster. The first eight tiers are free. No ads. No subscription. Works offline.
