Chess was way harder to program than we thought... And we werent even able to add the theme mechanic in to our game.

Amazing pixel art! It's better to try and fail than to never try! That experience will only make you better!

It look really cool! The most important thing from game jams is to have fun and learn. Hope you succeeded in those!!! From my experience every year I grow from the global game jam :)

Thanks! This was in fact our first game jam ever. And we definitely learned a lot from this experience. We hope to try this again next year.

It sounds like a cool concept, and the art is beautiful!! Unfortunate that the time ran out, but it looks like a really great start!

The sprites and overall feel look amazing! Don't give up and not any one of the games is finished in 48 hours ;)

*hug* Cool that you still uploaded it, too bad it didn't work out — I can imagine chess takes quite a while to replicate from scratch! The sprites look amazing though, did you do those yourselves? The idea also sounds cool, so who knows you can make a spiritual successor to this one day :)

Thanks for the compliment. i did make all the art from scratch and im really happy how they turned out. We also like the concept of a chess rougelike and are propably going to try to make an actual game with that idea.
