Cool idea to use the knight movement! It could be nice to have different puzzle elements in the later levels as you need to take the same path each time. The art style is really cool but the UI and projectiles would benefit from proper textures too.

I like the use of the knight mechanic. Game seems fun but could use a bit more SFX.

Nice little game! The more I played, the more I understood the knight mechanics to get the keys.

Fun game with a lot of potential!

It's a great concept! I enjoy chess games and this one has lots of potential!

👋 Hey!

I just played your game and I really enjoyed it "easy and very fun!!!"— it was fun and engaging, and music is very cool! 🎮

I wanted to share my game with you too — it's called Jumpimal 🐾

It's a cute and fast-paced jumping game I made during GMTK Jam.

I’d love to hear your thoughts if you get a chance to try it!

I’d also be happy to give more feedback on your game if you’d like.
