Hi everyone! It seems rule 33 turned out to be referring to both the troll AND the speedrunners. That goose really is evil! I am referring to the funny exploit that was found by Phoenix Flare, where they made their game window so wide they could immediately grab the goose and skip the entire chess game. It has been fixed now, but thanks for the laugh! In general I felt the goose ending was a bi…
Hi again, It seems the Mac build got broken after previous update. There seemed to be an issue with the troll dialog box being unable to load dialog from the localization system.

Thank you for your continue…

Hi everyone! With the game just released, I thought it would be fun to do a little challenge. So the first 5 people to unlock the ascension ending win an extra copy of King of the Bridge! But that is not all... The winners can also co-design a secret rulebook page that I will put in the game* *not a functional rule, purely a joke / easteregg that will be displayed somewhere on the bridge during…

Hi everyone! With King of the Bridge's release just around the corner, I wanted to add just a few more features! Leaderboard I added a leaderboard screen to the game so you can show off your insane chess skills against the world! Or just your friends! With a slight rework with how the speedrun mode functions, I now think that this part of the game is largely done. Perhaps I'll add a few more ca…
It's almost time! After a long hiatus with school I'm finally in a place where I can release King of the Bridge!

Additions · Added Localization Support. · Added Dutch Localization. · Added ROCKET option to SPEEDCHESS MODE. · Adde…
