Okay I love chess so this game was pretty great. I hadn't read the description when I first played so I wasn't really sure how it was different from regular chess other than how it has a shop and how it keeps the position of the pieces every game but I worked it out eventually. This is a cool twist that I haven't seen before, which made me really think about whether to even move certain pieces or not! You also made a pretty solid chess engine that has nicely designed pieces visually.
- There should be an option to not promote once it pops up with the menu for which piece you wanna promote a pawn to, because i didn't actually want to promote the pawn on this specific turn and realised i was forced into it as soon as I got to that menu.
- I found a bug where the game loaded for a second when t should be the enemy's turn, and then they just never made a move which softlocked the game.
- My screen was far too zoomed in; i could only see the left side of the shop and couldn't see the top of the screen either. Changing resolution did nothing.
Still this is a pretty cool chess variant!

Hey, we appreciate your feedback dearly.
Your first 2 points are fair and we already noticed them, sadly just didn't have time to fix them. We will get back to them after the jam tho.
As for the zommage, i don't know if you noticed, but there actually is the possibility to zoom with ctrl + mouse wheel :D, we tried to explain it using the notes to the left of the chessboard, maybe it wasn't portrait clearly enough tho.
Ty for your detailed feedback <3
