cool game. easy rules, but requires a lot of counting to perfectly solve. Can you complete the game or is it just a test how far you can take it?

Count Down The Rabbit HoleIt's pretty fun to move around the queen and i like how quick you can move her, it's also quite satisfying when you take a piece. Pretty nice music and art to go alongside it too. I just think it gets a bit unfair later when you simply just can't collect all the pieces in the amount of moves you have left. Also maybe if some of the pieces you collect are moving around like chess pieces it could be fun? Just anything to spice up the gameplay. Cool game though!

BloomhopeIt was satisfying and intuitive to play! I kept expecting the other pieces to fight back, and I think maybe the blue tiles could be located at the tiles that enemy pieces are attacking? So attacking a bishop diagonally or a rook horizontally/vertically would be more expensive than avoiding their lines of sight? Just a thought!
I really liked playing, though. Something about it was calming. It felt like doing the chess.com puzzles, but lower stress, with each level having more than 1 correct answer. Not that the levels were easy, but because saving a few moves each round could really add up and save you later -- it was more like a marathon of puzzles.

Dice DownOh yeah I really like the idea with the pieces attacking, it would definitely add more difficulty and strategy. Im glad the chill vibes also came through. Marathon of puzzles is also such a good way to describe it, thats like the exact vision I had but thats a great name for it. Thank you so much for playing and your feedback.
I love it! I just confused that why isn't there a main menu and a level restart (maybe its about the game's genre idk)?

Counting DownI don't know how to play chess, but as soon as I opened the game, I knew what to do. The UI guidance is fantastic!

Escape VelocityReally fun to play ! Could have been great for different pieces to have their own little mechanic.
Little issue : I got an impossible level cause of a complete wall in the middle which force me to re-roll the map

RIGHT ON TIME!A cute chess puzzle game, might've been a little more dynamic with moving pieces or something, since it felt weird having multiple pieces that didn't really make much difference from each other, but I really like the premise! Being able to reroll also made a lot of interesting decisions, and the extra tile types were a nice touch.

The Diver and the DamselInitially I had some idea for the other pieces like at first there was a king and you would need to take out all the other pieces before taking out the king but I ended up not implementing it (half cause of time, half cause of it felt good without it). Anyway, thank you very much for the feedback and playing.
Nice simple game, cute art and nice music. Are the blue squares doing something?
Submitted
Day TradingCute concept and well polished! Would like to see how it would work with other playable pieces too.

SuperDramaI like the idea of needing to zoom around and take pieces quickly, but perhaps some kind of extra threat could be cool like a King piece constantly chasing you location. Great game though!
Submitted
The ClocksmithVery cool idea! It feels like blues are water so because they are difficult terrain takes more action like dnd. It was very fun! Great game :)

Break in TimeI enjoyed playing your game! It was fun to move through the different levels with the chill music playing. I was in a bit a flow state for a minute. Also the goofy looks on the chest pieces were cute. I do think that charging less for tiles crossed in one movement would be good, since as it stands right now you mind as well be the king. there no reason to take advantage of the queens slide moves. Congrats on submitting!

Short FuseThank you, Im glad you enjoyed it. I was actually thinking about making two modes, one where it counts the spaces moved (like it is right now) and a second where it would count whole moves. Unfortunately didn't have time to add that and already had the balancing down for what there is right now soooo went with that lol.
This was fun, well done! I love the drawings of all the pieces so much I wish I could get them on chess.com lol

Space RaceI saw your embed didnt work and played out of curiosity, I love chess!! This is such a cute take on the game i love the art especially since you were on a time crunch, 10/10 queen is terrifying
Submitted
MICROWAVE-ROULETTEVery cool concept. I found myself calculating and trying to find the optimal path, but then also wondering if it's worth re-rolling the board...
So it felt like the mechanics of the game worked well together.

3, Zoo, 1...I'm not great at chess, but it is a fun and challenging (while still accessible) game to solve! I didn't understand what blue squares do?
