This is an excellent use of the theme. Very creative! I could have used a bit more help remembering what was on the flip side of the board while rotated. This is a brain bender and a fun new twist on chess puzzles! Thanks for making and sharing!
Thanks for your kind words :)) I'm glad you enjoyed my theme application!
Could you please elaborate on what was hard to remember specifically? I'd love to hear more about this and then hopefully I'll have a clue on how to fix it :)
Turns out I just fundamentally misunderstood what was happening. I thought that the pieces on one side still influenced the other side. I get it better this time but it's still hard to determine what color I'm playing as and what who I'm supposed to checkmate on which side. I'm pretty sure I'm finding valid solutions that are not being credited as valid? Very cool concept this reminds me of bughouse and also shogi. Super cool and nice work on the skybox. Very fun to see it flip!
I'm thinking I need more instructions along the way and next steps for every moment. There are clues around and if you know what you're looking for you can probably figure it out but as a total newbie who is expecting regular chess it's pretty confusing still. Now that I'm getting it I like the concept even more!
bughouse and shogi were my exact inspirations!! I just started playing shogi not too long ago :)
I'm planning to work further on this game to add levels and polish to it.
I'll create a proper tutorial, give clearer instructions on what do like you mentioned, and add new levels (including 4-board puzzles).
I really appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again when the game is updated!
Really good game. I finished it. Some sound effects would add a lot to it I think.
Great job.
You're right, it was on my list to record some sound effects but I ran out of time..
Thanks for playing glad you had fun! :)
Great job. I love how you used the theme in this. I would say if there is someway that you could make it check if it is in checkmate because sometimes there where two answer's (manly on the first level) but only one of them worked. I think if you made this into a full game it would be super fun and brain breaking.
Great job :)
Thanks! Right now the solutions are hard-coded into each level. Unfortunately, there are two levels -afaik- that have solutions I overlooked.
For the tutorial level, I wanted to allow the player to only be able to do the solution presented to them; as it teaches the core mechanic of the game, but I didn't have time to implement that so as of now you're able to do both but only one is accepted :(
Thanks for playing and for your detailed feedback! :)
Very cool use of the theme !
Thanks I'm glad you like it :)
Very nice use of the theme to make a unique puzzling experience, only hampered my me being dogshit at chess
Thanks for playing!
