Cool concept! It could be interesting to see the movement of chess pieces used in some way!

Nice game! The art is quite nice as well. I think it would benefit from a failure condition though, as is I just spammed the pawn/knight/bishop and got enough eco to rush with every piece and win, which really doesn't feel like it should have worked.
Fitting for the theme, reminded me of BTD Battle! Great job for a solo game!
This was pretty awesome, glad I got to play this one. Had a unique concept and I love the chess aesthetic.
That was fun, I loved being able to play a TD as the enemies. I think that a lot of the game came down to spamming knights to increase my eco per second a lot until the rest of the pieces were trivial to buy, but that’s something that can be refined through play testing. Overall I think it was a great concept and I could easily play hours of this if it had more content.
I think this is one of my favorite games of the Jam so far! I love TD games and have never thought what it would be like to be the enemy. I think you really have something here. Like if you could work on the balancing and the strategy element this would be a INCREDBLE game! GREAT JOB especially as a solo team.
Run, my children, ruuuun!
That was fun! It takes a game or two to really understand each piece's cost and powers, but once you know them well, it's really challenging to try and get a better time!
Great job! I really liked it! =D
This was fun, and I felt like it really fit the theme. The only issue I have is that besides trying to get a better time, there was no incentive not to just wait until I could use stronger pieces, and never use the weaker ones.
A lot of fun and super fitting for this years theme! I liked the simple art too, super nice! :D
Great game! Probably the best anti-tower defense I have seen this year. Also chess as a theme is quite nice too.
Extremely fun! I won in 4:36. I like the art style. The game is still fun to play after awhile.
Really hope you keep working on this after the jam!!! Fun game with great places to bring it too!
