That was fun. Great learning curve, I definitely got stuck a time or two and had to figure it out. I love the idea of gaining and losing from the character and using the pieces you've lost strategically.
Of course it could use some music. Also, are the character and queen blobs of syrup? Because those moveable blocks seem like waffles to me. If not, that could make for a fun theme.
Overall, very fun, solid challenge and great feel. Thanks!
