polished, silly, and fun! I bet you can make this an actual game if you find a way to get lives!

How does the game fit the theme?
So the pieces you placed at the start will randomly turn to black
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Several lines of code from the camera was written before this jam for my past project

Very polished game with silly art, love it!
Really great job, especially for a first jam :D
Addicting betrayal chess. I got hooked after figuring out how it plays.
Yo my 500 elo ass thought the bishop was a pawn lol. its so fun and I love the polish every piece has when it moves and captures. great game. Love the art-style to I just wish the king could move in the red squares but I guess that defeats the purpose. Great game again.
Very creative and effective concept! I swear the enemy pieces were just dancing around the center, teasingly slightly out of reach. Guess I should polish my chess skills :')
It is a bit unfair that the enemy knight can stand on top of the king and take away your lives, meanwhile your pieces can't do anything about it.
Amazing first game jam. Gameplay, art, and sound design are all superb.
Cool! I have never seen a chess variant like this before (I've seen a whole bunch of variants)
I made the sound to Chess o'Clock for Brackey's game jam 2025.2, you should try it! (The current version is not the game jam version though...)
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.
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!
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!
