What do you like about your game?
I genuinely enjoy the concept of the game and the general feel, and I feel that I need to dig way deeper. I am beyond excited to showcase it to everyone !

This is ourtight awsome, Amazing Work!
I dont know how to play chess, but i love this game
Very high quality! A few minor suggestions if you end up expanding this game/ releasing it to buy:
Add hotkeys for placing pieces. It was a bit inconvenient to keep moving my mouse from one side of the screen to the other. Perhaps if multiple of one piece are being placed in the same turn, then right click can be used to place just one, and keep another copy of that piece "on the cursor"
I think this game has a lot of potential!
I think the reserve needs to be closer to the game scene, at the bottom of the screen maybe?
Love the keybing shortcut idea though, I use that a lot in slay the spire and it feels good to use. I might run out of keys to bind though, as you can get up to 15 units. Would not mind a cap on the player inventory to 8 or 9, to force the player to capture specific pieces first or discard unwanted ones.
I just really like thinking about this game there is a lot of ways to improve everything across the board! But the base is solid, easy to expand and i think already kinda fun!
Extraordinary game! Everything is great, art style, gameplay, general vibe. Good job!
great artwork and overall feel to the game! The music fits the vibe perfect. I really like the concept of the game based off the aberration theme.
Great puzzle game! I'm not sure I'm feeling the aberration theme so much, but it's impressive how polished everything feels for a jam :)
The game is very progressive and so more enjoyable like that. Actually, it can be a good introduction to chess for new players! Congrats for your game.
Insanely well made for two weeks! Very fun!
If you're keen to expand the idea more I think the AI could do with some more work, I'd like to see them try to setup plays by predicting my next step, since currently they only seem to try to look for things they can take. Also, I think I found a bug with one of the mega units, for whatever reason he wouldn't move from his spot.

Thank you for your feedback !
Something is wrong with some mega units. This is 100% spaghetti jank. Sometimes they wont attack even if they can, I've seen some doing (very) illegal moves... So I guess it balances itself !
Awesome game, truly awesome, seems like a completed project , had a blast! (Will you release it on steam ?)
Very fun and very polished. I love the art style!
super well made, super fun
Interesting concept of an "aberration". I really liked the general looks and feels of the game, as well as the idea of playing with unusual chess pieces. Great job!
This is really an incredibly polished game, so deep with so many mechanics and details! I think it's really well made. I do think that perhaps the earlier levels should have introduced the mechanics a bit more slowly though, for example just using the default chess pieces before introducing things like the Bow and the Boat, because I think that would make it easier to later on intuit where those pieces move and how they work. Other than that though, really great entry!
I think it's missing a first area where level are easier and require less thinking !
I planned 5 areas originally, then upon playtesting I noticed the game was getting long, but didn't want to stick the player in tutorial hell.
That's fair enough. If you turned this into a full game that would be an idea though!
Very nice take on chess! I like it quite a lot, could be a fun game to port for mobile or handheld devices. Well done!
Thank you ! The web version works on my mobile, although no audio and a bit small, it works on my tablet as well ! I am not sure why but yeah it makes me feel that I could do a mobile version!
Very polished, very fun. Well done!
I love this game.
damn it's like chess 2 or something
This is so sick. I love the intro sequence. Gameplay is interesting, only complaint is that i'm feeling a bit lost when it comes to how many times i have to kit a mega unit. So good for only 2 weeks, god damn.
Really Nice game love the art style and concept!
Good Game
