creative and fun twist! in some ways it being chess pieces with different rule messed with me a little bit, but it was still a very enjoyabble puzzle concept! well done.

How does your game fit the theme?
Swap between both sides of a chess match, and instead of trying to achieve victory, you're trying to destroy all pieces and reach a stalemate. The King, typically a passive piece, is the primary offensive frontliner!

Creative twist on the mechanics of chess, with rewarding puzzle design that made me think. Also crazily polished. Very nice

Reverse (Civil) EngineeringI love chess, and I especially love interesting variations of the classic game. I've always thought more games should use the rules of chess to create engaging puzzle mechanics, and that is exactly what you've done.
Great job :)

it ain't easy being a modI loved this game, the puzzles were very fun and the idea of reaching a draw instead of winning was very cool. It accomplished so much with such simple mechanics!

it ain't easy being a modExpressive presentation, easy-to-parse mechanics, snappy puzzles... this was such a fun, complete experience! I'm sure this could be expanded to a 20 level game; I was really starting to see the interesting consequences of my decisions towards the end.
It was so satisfying to beat that final level!! Poor Queen, she didn't know her hubby was being stolen from under her nose. But I guess that's what you deserve if your one hobby is leading your country into war. For hundreds of years.
This is the best romance of 2023.

Try To DieWow, this is a super complete experience! The music, art, and movement of the pieces all create a really polished game! I loved how the game got continually more complex as well. Everything even down to the color choices were solid! My only suggestion (which if you did implement, I may have missed) would be to make a setting to turn off the moving background. I actually ended up getting really dizzy from it for some reason 😭. But overall, this was one of the coolest games i've seen yet! Great job :)

The Other SideThis is really neat. The collapsing of the tiles feels super satisfying

Reverse SnakeThis game is really up there, I wouldn't be surprised if it placed super high.
Its a really cool twist on chess, it's cool seeing you make such consistent puzzles with the defined rules of chess.
