Great graphics and design, especially for the pieces! The gameplay could use some polish, I thought I could escape the pieces line of sight before they hit me, and I did, but the game counted it as a hit regardless.

Great game. I loved this game. It was right up my ally. Great game all around. Might be my favourite game gameplay wise of this jam so far and theres been a lot of games. 

I liked the gameplay so much I'll definitely be replaying it.

I found the game too hard, (not sure how to explain it more specifically), but that could be a me thing.

Loved it!

Simple and easy to understand gameplay, while still being fun.  Appropriate level of challenge. Those bishops are a pain lol.

I would play this on the phone 100%. Cool concept and neat game!

I like when people think of "chess" when we say "horses" and the idea here is pretty good, nice job for a one day game :)

Submitted

I liked it a lot! You took the chess idea to very different place than we did

Submitted

Great concept and execution! I was wondering how it would feel if the knight moved in its classic L shape

Submitted

Such a cool idea! Such a great job for such a short amount of time, and I love this take on an endless runner!

Submitted

Woah! Considering you only had a day to make it - this is pretty great! As a chess lover myself, I have to say the chess pieces looked fantastic. It's a simply concept, but I love how you added variety with the enemy types and powerups. This was fun - Great work!

Horse chess games unite 🤝

A runner game is a great idea and fun too!

Submitted

This is an impressive entry, a combination of endless runner with chess is a clever idea. Great use of the horse theme.

It got confusing at first but i enjoyed later

Iam super into chess, so I enjoyed this game, but asRest97 mentioned, I think I ran into some bugs, where the bishop attacked me on a different diagonal, than it should have. Bu its insane that you made this within a single day and ate 6 Sandwich icecreams. But really, this a lot you have achived in that time and you shouldcontinue on this game I think.

I really love chess! It's a very interesting game, but some bugs still spoil the experience.

loved the whole package! rly well put together! I'd love if we could choose the chess piece we are, and they skip different tiles such as in real chess, would cool!
