One Last Game
Please play with the sound on.
Play one last game of checkers in dreadful circumstances beyond your control.
Neither of you remember the rules that well. But it doesn't matter.
- A short ~3 minute narrative experience.
- Click a piece when its your turn and then click the destination.
- Made for the GMTK 48 hour game jam. The prompt was 'Out of Control'.
Please note that this game has received minor bug-fixes since the original game-jam release. The original build is available in the downloads section. See the devlog for details.

Seems like you were finding a way to pass time in a war zone you didn't wanna be in

Really sad. One of the best games ever
Guerra de mierda me cago la buena partida que tenia contra el otro mamahuevo
The story behind this game was truly heartbreaking, 100% recommend playing
absolutely emotional. the sweetest stories are the shortest ones.
I'm wondering who's at the door banging so loud like it's the ending of the world. Oh wait
heartbreaking.
well done.
sobbing
I'm from Ukraine,and i almost broke my computer
Меня это очень тронуло, спасибо за ваш труд
With so little you managed to create so much emotion in such little time.
Masterful.
Awh man this game is pretty depressing. I legit ALMOST got emotional on the ending T_T.
You should play it though. :DDD
I want to play soo and my iPad is not bad this game Is slow
How to play on ipad it is not working i am playing on ipad 7
very unnerving
We played this game as one of our spooky October events, thanks for making this!!

┭┮﹏┭┮
One final moment of peace before the inevitable "blackness" comes:( Was a great play though. So many emotions in such a short amount of time!
They tried to silence the outside world with the little peace they tried to establish between each other. This left me with an amplified depression. GREAT
Why does it have to be so sad? T_T
Honestly the sheer impression this game left on me was astounding. Absolutely incredible how you managed to invoke so much in just three minutes. A full-fledged experience well worth anyone's time.
Thank you for this wonderful game!
#peace #nowar

Well that was a bit sad
Wait, did the door break down from the storm or was there a person there? Also, this guy has no sportsmanship—he covered my hand!
soilder knocking on the door, my guess, he opened fire the second he kicked the door open killing both you and the old man
I thought it was bizarre when it was raining frogs but missiles really blow that out of the water
