The concept of the game is really well done, some things could be explained a tiny bit better and I think there is a bug somehow causing a pawn to become a king or something idk, but other than that it's good :)
Well, the point about explaining things is definitely right ;P
When you capture a piece, you swap places with it and take control of it. This might be what you're talking about.
There's also (spoilers!) a mechanic based on a lesser-known rule in actual chess where a pawn will change if it makes it to the end of the board.
(I suck at chess and im already stuck early on.), but I like the overall concept of this game!
I have some small suggestions:
1. Make it clear it is the king you need to send into the door. I didn't realize that for a moment and I thought I just send someone to the door.
2. Make a text to tell people 'R' is can always be pressed. It takes quite some time for me to realize that I can R other than dying. (Oh... it's written in stage 3... maybe earlier?)
Overall a cool game to me!
I kinda wanted to include some sort of explanation of the pieces' movement but I decided to skip it since I was on the clock. Might add something of the sort after the jam's over.
I enjoyed it! I would have liked a "undo this move button" but a cool idea. I liked the chess movement as base.
Actually, you can press 'z' to undo! Its buried in the description but the game also tells you a few levels in
Cool game but i cant retry for some reason
weird - what happens when you press 'R'? I had some issues with retrying but I should have patched that out. (If you're using the touch controls you just have to undo repeatedly)
huh tried clicking it nothing happens and holding it nothing happens dunno maybe its just me, fun game tho!
