reminded me of running away from zombies in world at war cod. Loved it.

Make Slick moves, dashing through tight gaps, and impossible escapes. Slick in the sense of hard to catch.

That was very fast paced, but after a few runs I got the hang of the jukes. I still feel like there wound up being too many pawns, but it does make it feel good when you do manage to make it through. Those queens are no laughing matter either.

Firework FellowLooove the enemy chess piece movement. Has a very rhythmic feel to it !! ^-^

POWER MODE: VOLUME 2Why is it called Slick Bear in the zip folder? I HAVE TO KNOW!!! As an avid chess enthusiast I give this my seal of approval. I really like the unified pawn movement and the factory-like pace of it all. There's a pacing to it that suggests that the room will eventually be completely filled with pawns, which naturally encourages you to hurry it up while also increasing the tension around kiting. Bravo!

Slip ShipMan I've played a lot of chess games but this is the first I've played in a while that does something very interesting! The movement of the pawns is very unique and having them move to the beat almost gives it rhythm game like quality. Very interesting! It would be fun to see how the other pieces move!

Slickback RadioYoo the boss fight made me think of Ornstein & Smough. Fun concept!

Masked SurvivorLove the fact the pawns have delayed movement. Such an interesting way to allow the player to have a tactical decision making process for moving themselves. Nice job! :)

Gun Knife BombSuch a cool mix of chess and action! The movement delay makes dodging weirdly satisfying. Simple intro, but it gets intense fast!

Slippery Slope ServicesWell that escalated fast :') Fun concept! Room 2 is brutal!

Dream Riders - Game Jam Editionthe control felt so smooth! I really like the delay in movement that the pieces have, it just feels weirdly satisfying to dodge them in a way? Really liked the simple introduction at the start too, and loved the music/visuals too :D

Slickter's Snake Oil EmporiumIt definitely felt slick squeezing through the hoards of pawns, absolutely it reminds me of dodging the zombies in Black Ops. Cool game.

Fistful of Face CardsNice game! I like how the other pieces can only take one move at a time, like in real chess. It's very creative. Well done!
