This is super cool, I enjoy both chess and cards games a lot and introducing it to the tower defense genre was a clever idea, the music is pretty cool too. Very interesting concept for sure!
The only thing I would say it's not that great is that when you play with the cards the AI put the chess pieces in places where they can't reach you at all, making it way easier than it was suposed to be.

How did you incorporate the theme "COMBINATION"?
We combined Chess & Playing Cards theme in addition to combining tower defense from both perspectives. You can play as the attacker or the defender. In addition to the addition, you can also combine towers or cards to gain more powerful towers or cards!

This is such an interesting game. The concept is really unique and cool. I am pretty surprised how you managed to do so much stuff in just 9 days.
If the graphics and art was a bit more polished it would a really awesome game. Except that, overall the game is really great! Had a lot of fun playing it!

The Devil's GambitWow that's amazing the amount of content you managed to get done in a game jam. Music felt epic, was a nice surprise when you switched from chess to cards that the gameplay is completely different. Great job.

Pooka Needs SoulsI really like the idea of being able to play on either side, I went back and tried out chess after initially picking cards. Good art especially considering all the different types of cards and chess pieces available.

Dungeon Factory PrototypeDid not expect a tower defence game, good job. The balcing wasn't that good, but limit time so you get a pass for that. Like the nerration at the start.

Mecco the ChameleonHey, I sided with the chess army and fought to the end! The voice acting caught me off guard in a great way as I thought I was going to be reading the text on screen. The mechanics of combining pawns and cards to buff or upgrade them is a brilliant idea! One thing that kind of got me annoyed however was how tough those cards were in level 2. It didn't help that I was subconsciously trying to avoid the rook in that level since it can only shoot at two spots making me feel like I be sacrificing health to rush for the knights or queens. I gave level 2 a few tries but couldn't succeed yet. But regardless of that, I had a lot of fun playing through this, great work!

Spirit SwapI loved your game! It remembers me the flash games i used to play as a kid. Tower defense is one of my favorite genres. The graphics, sounds and gameplay are very good and there is a lot of room to impromement.
