A great, solid game!

Excellent telegraphy, everything is super clear, quite tactile/responsive, etc.

Clear goals and progression

Archers are imbalanced) Overall, it’s a pleasure to take down, but maybe if their shot only dealt 0.5 HP, it would be more challenging.

The chess vibe is palpable, but I’d maybe add a few extra touches to make it more distinct and feel fresh. Although, I don’t know, maybe that’s what you wanted. Well, the archer is actually pretty cool in that way.

A good, full-fledged project by all accounts, with a good level of polish. I think it could be turned into a mobile game.

Great little game! And also very polished. Had quite some fun with it.

The range-attacks (e.g. archers) seem a bit overpowered though. Maybe add some range limit?

Thanks. I think so about the archers too.

Hey! Congrats on submitting to the jam :D

A really cool idea for this jam! Kinda unintuitive at first but I managed to gey my way around :) I also don't realy see where is the theme inlcuded?

Developer

Thanks for the comment!

The theme “You Are The Villain” is shown by playing as the Lich King, a classic fantasy antagonist, where you defend your dungeon from adventurers instead of being the hero.

Really fun game! Well executed. Currently it only show the movement grids and not the attack grids, so I had to constantly read the descriptions.

What a great concept! System is working and gameloop clicks!

Needs some balancing (archers are OP)

Continue this one. Should be a banger mobile game! Sick!
