I like the idea of upgrading pieces but your game miss a lot of essential things. By that I don't mean the "legal" moves check necessarily. I really miss that the piece won't snap into a center of a square after a move. Than I miss sound effects and music (recording 2 sound effects would suffice). I think your idea is great and if you put more work to it past jam, it could be really good! Keep learning and jamming :)

WHOLE HEARTEDLY Agree Esosek! I was honestly not gonna submit due to basically being SUPREMELY stumped but a classmate helped me program the BASICS in UDK and so I decided to post something with the raw idea rather than nothing... I am trying to finish my original attempt in godot! I fully intend on adding the little things that add up to a full experience of a board game like chess! And thank you-- I plan on joining the brackey's game jam next!
Wow! good challenge but seems that you made it work :) It would be great with some more explanation. I rated your game. Check out mine if you feel like. A rating would be awesome too :)

Electro Clash - Stefan BartoloThanks a lot! Challenge is definitely the word, chess is much harder to program than I realized! What did you find confusing if I may ask? Did you check out the main game page before playing? (I realized too late I should of put a Readme.txt into the download...)
I did check out your game, looked pretty and gave it a rating as well. You did a great job!
Hi! I tried this out but there wasn't a ton of explanation of what this was supposed to be! Was hoping for a cool chess based concept for this theme!

Mess is MoreYeah I do apologize, it was my first jam so I had a bit of a challenge getting everything together, all info is based on the game page! The idea was the less pieces you had the more power you had in general (because of the ability to upgrade your pawns). Being super honest programming chess was 100x harder than I realized so I tried to get the pure basics done with massive trust given to the players. (As if it was a physical game). But yeah, give the game page a read over and see what you think, thanks a million for the comment!
