Fun idea! I think this game needs a restart button, since I (somehow) managed to lose the first time. And it’s awesome that you took the effort to write all that text! ;-)

Hey. I recorded a video about the Unexpected jam and included your game in it. If you want to cut your game out of the video, let me know. However, if you like the video, I make similar videos every day. I will be happy if you subscribe. Anyway, I enjoyed playing your game.

This game is really hard to rate. It hooked me and raised the question about how the heck can a one dimension chess game work. That it was part of the game to find out is great! I enjoyd the philosophical ending and the textes, maybe they could be more on the point. More art than a game, but that is not a bad thing

Nice and simple game. Does what promises. (I had to play 3 times to win)

Interesting minimalist concept, and the stream of consciousness text ending. You raise the philosophical question of meaning in games, which is a real question everyone should think about at some point. Or just mash alt-F4 since the game dev didn't have enough time for an exit button :)

Does what it says on the tin - and then some extra. Pretty visuals with a pretty unexpected ending!

My brain is too small to think in one dimension. This was super fun though! I like how you took a straightforward idea and added a ton of personality to it. I might've read the whole paragraph...

I really enjoyed the simplicity of this game! You took a complicated strategy game and turned it into a neat little puzzle, and it makes me wonder how other games played on a 2D grid (go, battleship, checkers) would translate into 1 dimensional space. Or perhaps, the next big chess game might be  something like 2.5D chess?

Well played

Lol

this is what the world needed. You are a true hero

Thank you for this and you are also awesome.
