Those guys need to die. Punch punch.

The chess pieces.

Cool.

I don't know if there's more charm or jank

It's a careful balance.

Really cool idea! I liked the use of the theme and the chess motif was awesome. Definitely rough around the edges but I enjoyed this one. Great job!

Developer(+1)

I'm happy you had fun!  I look forward to smoothing out some of those edges after the jam.

Feels a bit rough around the edges but I like its charm.

Developer

Sometimes charm is all we've got.  Thanks for playing!

this games gameplay isn't super great. I understand what its trying to go for, but It just controls very poorly and feels clunky. Also felt really frustrating as i kept dying to enemies and I had no idea how to get around that. 

Developer

I appreciate your input, and I plan on polishing the game after the jam.  I was a bit overambitious and wanted there to be more in the game than there was.

The game really took a hold of when white developed their knight, great game!

Developer

Spoken like a true chess connoisseur!

I really liked the style on this one. Gave me nostalgia for 90s style computer games and graphics. I had some good fun playing this! I like how the knights did a little "L" before attacking and the sneaker squeeks had me rolling xD. Very cool game!

Developer

Thanks so much for playing!  I'm glad you liked it.  The squeaks really brought the knights to life!

This is going in my top ten of the jam. This reminds me a lot of the first shrek movie. Outstanding work.

Thanks for giving our game a try!  I'm glad you liked it, and I can't imagine higher praise than Shrek.
