A downloadable PDF

ICKP is a puzzle game in the medium of a free PDF.

Mechanics must be discovered/deduced. Luckily, elements stay consistent between puzzles and there's only one solution per puzzle!

ICKP has:

120 puzzles
Knight from chess
Cursed mechanics
- (one might even say.... increasingly cursed?????)

Images that I am not licensed to use :(
A mechanics guide at the end in case you get stuck :)

Some reviews I got:

"as a puzzle game. definitely something i would finish if i bumped into it on cool maths games"
"whoo finally finished this all the way through! it was really really good and really really fun!! I cannot imagine it was easy to construct so many puzzles so precisely!"
"Bro… why did you have to ruin chess?"

Does this sound fun?

Yes!
- Great! You can download the PDF for free by scrolling down and doing downloady thingies.

Dang.

Shoutout to https://letibus.itch.io and their game LOK! It was a huge inspiration for this.

The people in the Discord server I made voted to delete it. Long story, but basically ignore the link.

Is there a sequel to this game? Because if not, I'm just gonna make my own with how absolutely incredible and increasingly cursed this is.

I haven't made a sequel (yet!!?!?!??!?!), but before we voted to delete the Discord server...

Squeaky made https://thesqueakyduck.itch.io/nickp,

Kirby made https://kirbycarrot1.itch.io/ickb,

Ado made https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1214009059/,

and a few more things without websites were made too. Which is not to say you shouldn't make one! Go for it!

Alright, give me about 1 month and a lot of brain damage (from playtesting) and there will be 120 more increasingly cursed puzzles.

Really excited to play this. Has anyone else noted an epidemic of PDF based puzzles? (In my opinion, a good epidemic)
