Nice concept, but not very challenging. Would love to see it expanded after the jam is over!

Developer

Yup, is planned!

Interesting concept and fun!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

Fun concept, though I would have liked to have a max number of moves to increase the challenge!

Developer

Hmm, thanks for the idea! Difficulty is hard to do in gamejams, so I just toned it down by default cuz i thought too easy is better than too hard, but i'll work on that for the post-jam expansion!

Neat idea! Like others have said unfortunately I ran into the issue where I couldn't get past some levels even though I had cleared out all the enemies already, but what I could play was good!

Developer

Yeah happens sometimes if you try again it might work!

Very cool game!

Developer

Thank you!

I like the game idea, although I'm not fully sure what the criteria is for the enemy to move and attack you given the idea of the game: should there be more pieces moving?

Developer

Hmm, might be a bug. Should get into that after the jam!

This idea is by far one of the most unique I've seen so far. very fun, all I would say is just to add a lose condition.

Developer

Thank you so much! there is a lose conditions, ennemies will attack you if you get near them without attacking immediatly. more difficult enemies to be added later on!

Submitted(+1)

Oh sorry, I should've made sure there wasn't a lose condition before commenting. Game looks great though.

Developer

No problem! Thank you for playing :)

I also can't get out of tutorial. And during tutorial I can move only towards enemies...

Maybe console log will help.


Developer(+1)

Yeah, that happens some of the time. If you retry it *might* wor. Also the tutorial is built so you can only do the right move.

Nice concept. Can't get out of the tutorial unfortunately, after defeating every enemy it just keeps giving me movement patterns and never finishes.

Developer

Yeah, that happens some of the time. If you retry it *might* work

Cool game! I thought about a reverse checkers at the start, cool to see someone else had a similar idea path :)

Developer

Thank you! Checkers did indeed inspire the art style, but the gameplay i sort of imagined a board game with reversed roles, and then changed and built up the idea from there.
