125 high score. Some premade puzzles with this idea would be cool to try and fit the piece in the correct spot.

I’m not the biggest fan of Chess, but I do love to see Chess spin offs. There’s so much room for reimagining parts of it like in this game. Good job!

It's so cool to the the rules of a common game remixed into something unique. Great job!

Really enjoyed the challenges of this unique chess version.

I love chess puzzle games like this! You've got a really good balance here between challenging unit placement and that rush of clearing part of the board right before you run out of space. I also really like the unique sprites that update as you add more of the same units. 

I can definitely see some room to run with this concept post-jam, adding things like unique level shapes, obstacles where you can't place units (or block line of sight), handcrafted levels with their own one-off objectives and bonus challenges, etc. Nice work on this one!
