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.
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).
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
Loved the animations and little laughs. Game was a fun twist on an old classic. I absolutely obliterated the CPU and felt great about myself after so what a lovely game.
checkers with a twist and pigs. What's not to love? Plus having an Android version made it easy to play. Thanks
Nice music!
Nice art!
Nice game!!!
The IA is really bad, but a have a great time, also, i find a bug
