Haha! Love this game! Combination of chess strategy with pressure of RTS is brilliant idea!

Never been so eager to be able to move my knight again... :D

Dosen't feel like a jam game at all, just a tad more polish on the UI and it's ready for publishing in several platforms also extra points for Randy ramdom (Why is he one of the easy ones tho?)

Unlike Rimworld, random moves aren't a big advantage in chess 😁 thanks for the kind words, my last few jam gamea really lacked polish so that was a focus of this one. I'm hoping to add mobile support this week!

I've updated the ui slightly based on feedback here -- I made it easier to see when your pieces can be moved and added a little 'in-check' indicator to help with king snipes. Because of the way itch.io works, I've archived the original Jam version here if you'd prefer to rate the original submitted version: https://www.keepflyinggames.com/jams/chess_v051/index.html

Very neat concept, threw me off a bit when the enemy team didn't stop moving, well done.

I'm kind of embarrassed by this because everyone seems to want a top to bottom board 😅

I do realize where it’s coming tho, when you’re an avid watcher of chess matches. However i’m not one x)

Nice game. Need more visible indicator that your figures can move.

Thanks! Do you think it will help if your pieces flash when they are ready, or do you have an idea?

Woah, that's almost as bullet chess but without ANY time to think! Interesting take on the theme, really. And I am impressed you implemented multiplayer.

You can set the rules so the movement time is slower... or faster!

Really fun! can the board be rotated? I'm not used to playing chess sideways. Also would be cool if pieces flashed when they were ready to move and you got notified if you are in check

That's the exact same thought I had! Why is it sideways? :D

Reply
Keep Flying GamesDeveloper2 years ago

My son (who's much better at chess than I am) went back and forth on which way the board should go and maybe I chose the wrong one XD I'll add an option!

Reply
Keep Flying GamesDeveloper2 years ago(+1)

I'll add an option for the board rotation! I like the check warning option and the flashing is a good idea too
