Might be interesting to change the controls so they match the direction. For example Q - up and left, W up and right, A down and left, S down and right.

I wish there were a few more checkers-specific moves, like chaining movements when dealing damage, and maybe enemies' placement being a bit easier to read - but after getting used to controls and finding the groove it was really enjoyable! Made it to wave 18 :)

Pretty fun, I started playing as if it were a rhythm game and was moving with the music

A fun game with lots of cool effects to strengthen the vibe, ngl i didnt think i would see a game that wasn't a rougelike in this jam and still be on a grid

fun game - music was deff on point and kept my hyped throught each wave

I love the diagonal movement, it's actually really neat and smart! Good job! And i agree some SFX could be nice to add

Pretty awesome! Not a lot of games utilize an only-move-diagonally approach when implementing grid movement, so it felt pretty unique. The screen shakes and splat effects were also nice touches!

My one bit of feedback would be to add some more sound effects! The music is great but I wanna hear the crunch as I crush these zombies.

Great job!

Pure joy to thump to the beat!!! *_* I can't stop ._.

If I can say something, this game needs a rhythm mechanic very badly: make the streak of timed hits heal the checkerguy, so when the board gets full the player can chain up those sweet, sweet beats!
