This version of checkers is way more fun! Nicely done!

Developer

Thanks a lot dude! I'm glad you liked it! :D

This is a really nice twist on checkers. I like the idea of building pieces up but that being a risk because it means one move can take more. Adds a lot of depth. 

Developer

Thanks dude! I'm glad you enjoyed the idea! :D

At first I was a little nervous because I felt that the twist was way too simple. But then I realized that a minor change which brings up way more depth is more welcomed and easy to understand. Thanks for the feedback! :)

The added stacking rule makes the game more strategic choice, such as more moves or more piece. Although the AI miss obvious opportunity and hardly will go offensive mode, a perfect practice for beginner to understand the rules. And having 2P is a fun choice to play with friends.

Suggestion for improvement

- Giving the player a choice to choose a more difficult AI could give this game more replay value. (example: easy, medium, hard AI for the player to choose so that they can challenge or improve themselves).

Developer

Thanks for the feedback man! :D

The AI is actually playing random X). 2 days time constraint. You know the drill... X)

Still I highly agree with your suggestions for future improvements! Thanks man! :D

really liked the new approach for the checkers game, good job! =) had a good time playing it
the ai is a lil bugged but I am impressed that you even coded the ai in the jam timeframe. 

Developer

Thanks a lot man! :D

Well actually, for the AI, it just plays random X). Maybe after the Jam I'll be able to make a more decent AI!

Submitted

in that case good job haha you fooled me x)

Nice twist to the classic game with the theme. An original game for two-player pretty fun, and the sound of the animals XD I get a laugh too

Developer

XDDDD

I'm really glad I was able to make you laugh dude :,)

Thanks a lot! :D

Simple and cool game.. Loved the funny voices

I have no idea how to play checkers, but this was fun none the less. This could be a great challenge with a smarter AI. The presentation was also very neat. I like how the opponent chuckles when they think they've made a good move. 

Developer(+1)

Looks like I REALLY should work on that AI next time instead of leaving it on random. X)

Thanks dude! :)

Submitted(+1)

This was a pretty neat concept!

Developer

Thanks dude! I appreciate! :D

A very neat game, linking pieces to extend movement range was a clever idea! Although once the enemy ai had only one piece left, they refused to take their turn, which was a funny bug.

Developer(+1)

As a kid, my friends had a weird cheat checkers variant where you could stack pawns together to get more powerful pawns. That was the inspiration X).

Thanks a lot dude! :)

OMG! This is brilliant! Absolutely genius. It's a simple idea but it works so well. The AI is too easy but it's okay. This has amazing potential! Great idea and execution! 

Developer

The AI is actually playing random. XD

Nonetheless, Thanks man! I appreciate! :D

Very good game! It have the potential to be very competitive (like chess). Tho the ai is too ez and I have no friend to play with. 

Can't wait for an online multiplayer and a ranking system.

Thanks a lot dude! :D

I'm glad you had a great time playing it! :)

Maybe after the Jam, I can rework on it and improve on these aspects!
