Awesome idea. Very well executed. Very very polished as well!!
Awesome game, I love the idea. Though 2 things. It doesn't count En passant as a legal move. 2. When I piece is pinned to the king, it should not be able to move, but when I played shuffle it moved. Though this is me being a bit nit picky. Amazing game still.
Polished game. The count down mechanic is very fitting into the gameplay!
Great game. Though I would remove the permanently losing pieces part. That was one of the pain points with the other chess rogue like.
This is awesome! It reminds me of Inscryption in all the best ways. I’ve often wondered how to pull off a chess deckbuilder, and having the game “play itself” informed by the cards is a genius decision. Very nice work - I’ll definitely be playing more of this :)
So good !
Very cool concept and execution. The music and sound design is super atmospheric.
This is amazing. You could put it on Steam as is! Really cool concept!!!
That's so good it's incredible you made it in only 4 days! That would definitely be great as a full released game.
Damn great job gang. Somehow having save states would be a good addition since it can take a loooong time to get to the end. congrats on a good jam entry
This is awesome! As someone who enjoys Inscryption, I could see myself getting into this! Unfortunately for me, chess is for smart people.
My horse army is immortal! Really nice juicy polished game :)
Interesting game loved it very much.
Only problem I had is RNG -> if you do mistake early and have no massive army - you can only reset game when facing boss.
Pawns are very strong under specified combo such as: 5 blood 3 cards 4 pawns moves by 2, capture -> then pawns just march forward with 33 to 100% hit rate on RNG. Knights are bad, its good to have queen, rook in corner to with no pawn before head to snipe any piece for free at last rank.
Only problem I had it was laggy - maybe was problem my overehating PC
Good job overall
this is a VERY polished game, I’ll probably come back to this and have another run, great job!
Quite polished. Really enjoyable!
I love leading my army of pawns :)
Looks simply gorgeous
The sound design is simple but efficient,
And always wanted to do a chess deckbuilder, so that's perfect ^^
Such a good game. I love playing chess so this really landed well with me. Great job!
Awesome game. Looks like it's inspired by inscryption and I think chess. 10/10 would buy (I like roguelike deck builders)
I struggled for the first few games, but then I got the Possession card >:)
By the end, I had bought all the relics and amassed a huge army of pawns that trampled everything with Cascade. This game is super fun!
