Fun, but too fast for me!
Very simple and straightforward game, well executed too. I would have loved to se the theme more in the mechanics of the game though
My king is dead 9 times. First time because I had no idea what to do, the other times it was because the rest of the board went crazy ! Nice little game, would be better with sounds or music. It was quite fun to play this non-chess game.
I like the idea and the animations are neat. It's definitely fun but it gets repepitive really fast and the difficulty is quite low. A little more varience and it makes for a fun little reaction-testing game :)
Ha, I like the board destruction animation, and the intro! Didn't get a lot out of the game – standing in the middle often required no movement at all. I think this would highly benefit from randomized paths, and a bit of sound! :)
Fantastic!
Love the concept! very original
I am fascinated by how creative people can completely destroy the games and concepts we all know. :)
Hilarious game. I wish it had some music! Also, I found a spot where I like almost never had to move, so the game got a little repetitive. Nice work overall!
This was very original and cool idea! :] Super neat game!
Funniest chess game I've ever played. The intro sequence is a really nice touch. Enemy attacks are clear and I was never confused as to what I had to do. Trying to dodge attack is fun and gets difficult enough to keep things exciting. Nice job!
phenomenal, please put this on android so i can take it with me
It's a fun little boss fight!
Great concept! I like how it makes light comedy of what you're not supposed to do in chess. However for the gameplay I think the enemy patterns need to change based on the kings position.
I recently started playing chess and this was a game that caught my eye. Great presentation! The addition of the anti camp taught me a lot more hahah, for eg I had no Idea diagonal moves were a thing until I played with it. My high score was 69, needless to say I had to stop there.
Check out my game too when you have the chance :D https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2020/rate/695900
Really cool concept! Also like the anti-camp option! :)
try my game if you'd like (itch isn't displaying my game that i worked on) :https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2020/rate/696391
Very fun game and not exactly what I expected :)
Very cool idea with the Anti-Camp double points too.
One thing that I would like to see here would be that the King has the actual King's moveset, so Up-Right Up-Left Down-Left Down-Right added to the moveset. That would give it more flavour.
Other than that it was quite fun and felt like a boss battle in some kind of old-school game :D
Thanks for the review :) the king can move diagonally, you just need to hold the buttons a bit more
Okay, I'm just dumb :D I tried and felt like it's not working. Will give another playthrough now!
Ridiculous. Fun!
This is sooo fun. I have no clue how you came up with this idea, but well done !
Cool idea to use a chess board for different attacks, I made a chess variant too try it out
