Hi, I played through most of the demo and I wanted to say that this is a pretty fun concept! I do have some suggestions that I feel would make the gameplay a little better:
- Highlight the available moves the player has. Although the player can only move 1 turn at a time, I think being able to actually see what is possible (including possible captures) would help with clarity
- On that note but more of a minor nitpick, not having the whole board on the screen when the player is towards the bottom can feel jarring and slightly claustrophobic (im not sure if this is the right description)
- Finally, if you want to lean into more of the arcade-y aspect, I think making all of the animations (enemies moving, player attacking, etc.) faster would make replays more enjoyable.
Overall, fun concept and I can't wait to see how it evolves!
