Use of the limitation
The game sort of plays like a reverse chess. Since you are infiltrating the enemy's base (in turn making you the enemy), You are unable to capture the enemy's pieces but that can capture your pieces.

    I never met concepts like that, the game has nicely done mechanics. It will improve if you add more interactive tutorial with visual hints. I really like direction of desk gamedev that you chose.

    I will be glad if you would check my game too <3

    Very fun game with a unique concept. The sounds were nice and the mechanics  were great. I wish you could use your own pieces  together, because, realistically, you can rob the treasure with just a king.

    You are supposed to use the other pieces to carry the treasure out faster and easier. But yeah, I should have incentivized that more.

    Amazing idea! It was really well executed, I just wish you could control the camera

    I love this concept as a puzzle game!
    I got a little frustrated at the camera controlls at times but the splice of chess and bank heist work really well together as a fun mechanic.
    The UI is a little simplistic but doesn't detract from the overall gameplay, I would however give the level select buttons a clearly defined boundry just to make it clear what is a button and what is'nt.

    Overall Great Game! : )
