Theme didn’t resonate with me at all. Unless pool is just loop backwards… dun dun dun
I really liked the gameplay, I just don’t like that the hitbox and dashed line don’t match, meaning the line can go between 2 pieces but you can’t actually go between them. I also encountered a bug where my knight became unclickable, I couldn’t shoot it or recharge it.
Chess itself is one of my favourite games ever. Bonus points for that.
The game’s art was really well polished. I loved the designs.
THe AI is surprisingly smart. No match for me because I’m a pretty strong chess player (not a master, just someone with good experience and knowledge), but like the AI in my own game, it isn’t entirely silly, though it does love to pawn storm at me and not use its queen.
The music was decent, but it didn’t resonate with me due my hyperspecific taste. However, the SFX were good enough to bump it back.
Game is overall good.
