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!

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!
