A bit of a learning curve there but really enjoyed the puzzles! Wish it’d tell me I finished all the levels with a bit more of enthusiasm. Nice work!
The one who counts' voice was weird and game is hard but i still loved tho
I see, its kind of hard to get the mechanic at first. Other than that, everything is nice
Once I got the hang of this, it was a super addictive puzzler!
Cool idea and interesting levels. UI was abit difficult to understand. Maybe using constant counters for each chess piece and making them always max distance would make the rules easier to grasp and levels more comfortable yo solve.
Great job!
Very create take on the theme! I do struggle a little with the UI but the rules are clear and a nice twist on the original rules of chess! Good job :D
A very unique and creative take on the jam theme, a bit confusing at first, however it was very enjoyable!
Interesting puzzle game, nice theme usage, at the beginning it a little hard to figure all rules out, but after game become very enjoyable, well done!!!
Very creative! Everything is nicely explained. The starting screen doesn't feel like a starting screen though, it took me a moment to realize that the game was over after level 10 haha. But it's a great game!
Cool chess game. Although ngl i thought the landing page was the first puzzle and was very confused. I think the actual tutorial's pretty solid once it starts.
It's really nice!
After figuring out the icons which I had a bit of difficulty...
Figuring out where the pieces go, and kept the turn-based style of chess, while taking advantage of a countdown to reach objectives within a limited time makes this a wonderful puzzle game!
This is so nice to see in the gmtk game jam, I've had fun!
Not bad
Love the bite-sized chess idea!
Took me a while to understand / remember what all the icons meant, but it kinda made sense after a while.
Now I am by no means a chess-player, but the difficulty did ramp up a bit at the end.
A overall pretty enjoyable brain-teaser of a game!
creative take on chess
Really cool twist on chess perfectly fitting with the countdown theme. Reminded me a bit of classic chess puzzles.
