I'm exceptionally bad at chess but this is really fun, it reminds me of shogi

I love the concept, nice integration of the theme in a chess game!

Woo, as a chess lover, this was an absolute joy to play :D Instead of strategizing, I made sure to capture as many pieces as I could, and that let me bring in so many queens :D

This is quite hard, but fun, made me really want to win

I love chess, and I really liked your theme variant of chess, it adds new layer of thinking to already awesome chess. 

When you mentioned that queen needs to be earned, I thought we cannot initially buy it (well we can't since we wont enough coin but after some turn we can)

What would have made it more interesting is that, queen would have been locked initially and  can only be unlocked after at least one pawn is promoted, that would have increased pawn importance too and would have made it even more interesting.

Really cool chess game, interesting concept to buy replacements from store!
(PS: how did you code the AI for this game?)

Really great idea, and well executed. Lots of juice added :)

Beat it on the hardest difficulty and hardest ai, honestly I think the ai was a pretty easy as far as how it uses the new mechanics.  Overall a pretty good game. Do you think you could try mine out?

I enjoyed being able to afford to fill the entire board with cheap queens, and the fact that you can buy a piece into check

Game is polished very well, I've always wanted to make something based on Chess ! Great work 

what a flawless execution. Not sure exactly how it fits the theme but loved it. The AI isn't up to par with an 1800 like me even in the brutal mode but I took it as challenge to not buy any pieces and it was fun. 10/10

Loved the theme execution! Fun gameplay, though it felt slightly easy to just buy your way out of trouble

Interesting take on chess, reminds me a bit of bughouse. I wonder how a meta would develop out of this, the balance seems difficult to parse at the moment. Really fun though! Every level of difficulty seemed to offer new strategy.

Very creative, I like the animations and the limited lifespan of the chess pieces. 👏

This is one of the best chess-inspired video games I've ever played. Also, best game jam game so far. Disclaimer: I really love chess

Definitely a good game with a super interesting take on the theme. I am terrible at chess, but I'm sure it would have been even more fun if I could play well.

good game, i was able to beat brutal difficulty consistently after a while, but i am 1500 elo. its impressive how you made a full game with adjustable difficulty, sfx and vfx 

It's a nice chess variant. Enjoyed playing it, it would be insane playing it against real people.
Polished effects, cool graphic, nice background music. I think the game would have been be perfect with some more SFX

Creative reimagining of chess. Not sure if I am that stupid, but the game feels a bit too hard even on the easiest setting. Perhaps that needs tweaking? Very cool game though!

Edit: Managed to beat the hardest thinking bot on the hardest difficulty? I think the difficulties should be inverted, because that was a lot easier than balanced bot on easiest difficulty lol.

Awesome re-imagining of a classic game! Love how you can buy pieces to bail yourself out of a misplay.
