Very nice, and especially congrats for a first game!!

Submitted

Nice game! I love the mechanics! It would be nice to know the cost of each piece but I really enjoyed playing this! One of my horses was bullied by another tho, poor fella.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I've added those and some other things, will be added after the jam time.

PS: i love this horse bug

Submitted

Great to hear that! Good luck with future updates. And yes, that’s one of the best bugs I encountered lately :D

cool game

Submitted

Wow! This is your first project?! Very impressive! 😃

There were a couple of glitches, but they were more funny and entertaining than game-breaking (like the pieces trying to hit the new piece you want to place), but overall a very cool game, and an interesting take on the tower defense genre!

I wish you good luck in your journey to recreate Outer Wilds using carrots and pencils! 😆

Submitted

Really cool game for a first project! Saw you

Submitted

Super cool concept! I think it'd be awesome to see a full version some day. TD with chess pieces acting like chess pieces.

Submitted

A very well-implemented tower defense game, I like the chess theming it would be interesting to have the game extended with more pieces.

big fan of tower defense games, as well as chess. So I enjoyed this concept very much. I did have a moment tho on one of my play throughs where my knight kept attacking the same spot and it was where my pawn was. But over all good game.

Sorry for the bug, ive already patched it, when its open again to updates im gonna apply the changes, thank you soo much for playing!

Submitted

This was fun, I can see there being a bit of strategy with chess piece tower defence. 

Submitted

Damn, I couldn't beat the big pawn. :P

I really like this idea, Chess + Tower Defense is not something I've seen before!

Submitted

This is such a fantastic entry!  I'm really excited to see this developed further with more pieces and more strategy.  Perhaps the path changes under certain conditions... Ooo.. I really like the potential here.  Well done!

Developer

Oh i loved the idea of the path changing, i will think about it, thank you for playing!

Submitted(+1)

The game itself is okay but I'd be really helpful to have more of an idea of when you can place pieces and how much they cost. It took me quite a while to understand that you can place pieces in the middle of a wave.

Submitted

Good game! But you need price labels and a small description of each piece

Developer

Thanks! I've totally forgot about the price labels! When it open to bugfix i'm gonna implement them.

Submitted

Congratulations on finishing your first jam!

I'd say the game needs more information and feedback listed, since it's unclear at times what's happening and whether or not you can buy stuff.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! i will think about it and implement it, thank you for the feedback! <3

Submitted(+1)

This really could have prices and cooldowns listed; it was hard to plan around the currency mechanic without them. Also, I am not sure if I won or not? That seems like it shouldn't be ambiguous with the one big piece at the end. An interesting concept though.

Developer

Hello! I will put those thinks once its open again for updates, and the scene for victory looks like its broken in the build :/

Developer

<3

Submitted

Loved the idea! Congrats on your first jam!

Developer

Submitted

loving the concept.  Spend some time on it after the jam, you might have something really nice here.

Developer

I will, i'm gonna correct and add some details, sound feedback... things like that, thank you for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Congrats on your first game, it's no small feat! The mechanics of the game were quite fun, they could definitely be developed further. Adding some prices next to the pieces would help, was a bit confused at first since I thought they were free haha

But yeah, just a nice solid game, well done! :)

Developer

Thank you for playing and the feedback!

Submitted

This was great! Good job man!

Developer

Thank you <3

Submitted

Congratz on your first game, It was fun and I liked the chess/tower defence angle. Sadly my knights are betrayers and they are attacking my pawn instead of the enemy :D

(giving nodes "groups" can help you prevent problems like that "white pieces", "black pieces" etc.)

Developer

Oh, thanks for playing my game! im gonna see what is happening and correct it
