Hey! Thank you for your feedback!
For this jam, we opted to tune down the difficulty, so people new to chess can enjoy the game and appreciate all the content it has without needing to learn chess in a week.
After some playtesting, we've noticed that the Juggernaut piece (rook variant) has some kind of bug in the code that makes it kind of rip off the player by not doing what its advertised to do. We are gonna fix this after the game jam period ends, and we hope to have everything bug free before trying to actually make it into a real game.
We have gotten many complaints alredy that the minigame feels "too hard" and "punishing", as missing a single timing will result in a failure dialogue. We give you our word, we are gonna try our best to make these minigames less repetitive, less punishing and more visible.
Love your game btw S2
