Several lines of code from the camera was written before this jam for my past project

Incredible game. The art is cute and the gameplay loop and concept would allow for both "closed"-level puzzles and "open"-level emergent gameplay. I think this genuinely has the potential to be developed into a full-fledged commercial puzzle game.

Probably needs a learning curve to it, but a pretty good game nevertheless.

Honestly a very cool idea with good execution and a good art style. Just needs a little tutorial at the beginning.

Really cool idea actually, simple but very effective

Nice game ! I love the idea.

Such an interresting concept! Nice!

Very unique, and I love the graphics and animation.

I was a bit confused until I realized you have 3 lives/hearts. I'd be good to emphasize that in the description and/or the tutorial. Also, perhaps it would be best to simply remove the king?

But overall, well done!

Developer

Thanks for bothering to write this! I’m gonna put the lives mechanic into the tutorial. As for the king, I feel like it’s a symbol and also it lets me say stuff like “don’t let it go near the king”

Submitted

Just an idea but maybe you could make it like a little castle grounds and the king in middle. so it could explain why the pieces can't get him outside the red area

Fun, Great twist on the theme, im... kinda confused on how the attackinbg against the king works while they dont hit him, but otherwise, GREAT! i love the art and audio!

Thanks! Yeah, to clarify, the king doesn’t really move so I didn’t make him a piece. The enemy attacks by moving into the center squares. (Also, I’m working on an in-game tutorial!)

Good luck to you man! It's already so fun!

Developer(+1)

It turned out I should’ve made the king block moves anyway for reasons in the description. And there’s a tutorial now!

Submitted

Yay! I’ll check it out
