knight invaders

Knight Invaders is a new game in progress from Orphantech, written by Keith Bergman for the TI 99/4A computer with 32K memory expansion and Extended BASIC.

CHESS GOES SPACE INVADERS!

The chess board is vertical, your King is at the bottom, and Knights are falling from the sky, right for you!  Shoot Pawns at them or lead them into the path of Bishops and Rooks to cause collisions and avoid capture.  If your enemies reach the bottom, even if they miss you, they'll crash and create obstacles you can't get around!

Clear the board before your moves run out. And watch out for the mad Queen, the deadliest foe on the field - she can survive a collision with any of her own pieces, and can only be destroyed by the lowly pawn if it initiates the attack.  You'll need impeccable timing, keen strategy, and quick thinking to survive in Knight Invaders!

Knight Invaders is schedule for physical release as part of Fun Pac 2023, Orphantech's upcoming floppy disk game package.
