This came out awesome! Congrats on doing so well thanks for letting me know you used my asset pack it's sick to see it in action again :D
What an entry! I will always respect anyone who manages to put an opening cutscene together in time for a gamejam.
The gameplay concept is actually incredibly cool - though me being a chess nerd probably helps! Reframing the objective of chess, and letting you make use of different piece's abilities - you really squeezed everything out of that idea to create a unique game. The presentation was really clean too - not too in your face, but it communicated everything it needed to very clearly, while generally being pleasant to look at. Excellent direction!
Unexpectedly strong vibes on the final level too - a little chess puzzle game shouldn't be able to instill such emotion in me!
I really really like this game! This is such a fresh take on chess, and the puzzles are so much fun! Art and music is also wonderful!
And its so polished... a cutscene... in a chess game... whaaat???
Bravo!
This is genius!
As a former chess-enthusiast, i love the storytelling and the puzzles, and the visuals are super smooth! Having one-time abilities of other pieces works super well (i was wondering if it was only going to be king moves, but this really gives it a lot of depth).
Would love to see a full version of this with more (and more challenging) puzzles, maybe also playing other pieces at some point (you could make a whole story on this theme).
Are you planning on fleshing it out after the jam?
Making the puzzles is really hard. But maybe we will continue working on it :D
I love the idea! And impressive, how you also managed to come up with a little story in that short amount of time!
Great Concet and Great Game, loved it. Feels like a full game, great Job.
