Really cool idea! My only thought was it felt a bit weird grabbing and dragging from the queen but I guess it adds to the challenge because you have to chase her rather than just clicking a point on the board to mark a target. The art is really nice and the animations are satisfying.

The Royal GuardCertainly of the best game of this game jam!🤩
The movement mechanics are original and fluid.
Graphics are awesome, how did you make the assets? Do you use filters?

Queens & KingsYou deserve a good rating for this! Excellent music! Satisfying gameplay, once i recognized, that i can mass-murder the pawn by drawing a longer lane.
130 points in first try, 146 in second. You did well in this one! So far, one of my favs this week.
From the UI part, I think the font is a suboptimal choice, it’s hard to read.

Kings vs. Queens (TriJam#185)Thanks Grisgram, glad you've enjoyed it! The music is actually the only thing I didn't make (the credits for the creator are on the game's page). I think you are right about the font - I actually made the entire game in pixel art and as such the font was readable, but last minute I've decided to apply xBR scaling to the game which, although made the game look better, it messed up with the readability of the font, and there was no time to improve it... oh, well.
Nice one! Moving around felt satisfying, altough rapid dragging motion makes my hand hurt... It would be easier to just click where you want to go (but might need something to balance it out). Visual style felt interesting, it looked like pixel art upscaled with something like 2xSal.
