Attack on the 10thAmazing work! You did a great job, I loved the graphics and the chess-like features of this game. It's a very interesting idea, and it feels more like a real game than a concept, with a few things left to polish. For example, I'd add finishing (kill) animations, as if it were chess from Harry Potter. I think it will bring fun in game. Also it would be nice to have more interactive tutorial.
Good luck with this project <3

Truffle's Time TrialsTime as a resource like this is perfect for chess, great idea. The game is really fun and honestly has a lot of potential outside of the jam. Art is really good too. Nice work.

Cardiac EventI really liked the spin on Chess... It took me a few tries to win.
Only thing that didn't work for me was the promotion thingies... If you don't promote, your pawn gets stuck! But this is a really really good game

Space MayhemAbsolutely stunning game... chess is not my strong suit but this concept is very cool and unique. The art is the cherry in the top :)

Handle With Care!WOW!! Not only is this game a fun reinvention of chess, it has beautiful visuals!! It was really fun to play with the different mechanics, even if I'm definitely an amateur at chess. Love it!! ^_^

Memories With Youwow this is really fun, and you lured me in with the anime girl but I didn't see one :( but it's fun so it's okay, though that might be because I ignored the tutorial

Eve of The Sunless SovereignReally fun and challenging game. I can play it for hours and enjoy. Well done!

Rush Mush FlipAll I can hear is GothamChess shouting "The time is a piece!" Ok, this is an insanely deep game in terms of its mechanics. At the beginning it felt like normal chess and then when I started to see how time came into play it opened a massive can of worms of endless possibilities. Art is great, although I would prefer to see normal chess pieces (maybe have a settings toggle for that?) Music is fun and fits the game really well. This is a very very very well design game, hats off to you!

TEROSuper fun variant! I think doubling the rooks and never placing knights is the optimal strategy. Maybe knights should be cheaper. Also interesting being able to guard the king with pawns on rank 1. Bot isn't very challenging once you figure out the mechanics, I'll have to give multiplayer a try. It would be great to have online multiplayer, since I doubt local bullet works very well.
The most unbalanced card seems to be the one that gives you the strongest piece in possession for free. Very broken if queens are still on the board. I used this card to get an extra king, but it selected the pawn instead (I guess king isnt a "piece"?)
Promotion screen looks weird, but it works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

DescensusYea about the promotion screen, I answered in another comment. So basically I forgor, I fixed it in the local multiplayer game but fogot to apply the change to the botted game as well. And about that card, if you were able to get 2 kings (why would you want it anyways lol) it would break the game lmao.
Wow, really? Didnt expect wat extraordinal shess. So impressive yhou did it in that short abount of time
Please keep going! I'd like to play again in future with more customication and multiplayer (not only local)
