Damn I didn't realise the queen piece could be so intimidating. Though I don't get why it's also unbeatable. This is a really good game by the way.

Developer

Thanks a lot :)

We tried to deviate on some chess rules. Some pieces move with you, some later. All to give more variability to the game, sacrificing a few conventions. It shall remind of chess, but not be the same.

Really neat game! I included it in my GMTK Game Jam 2019 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

I really enjoyed playing it. So many levels for a game jam game! 

Developer

thanks!!

We used a modular design. I personally focused a lot on programming interaction, so that once we had a few characters and block, it was kinda easy to build levels!

That was fun, the art style reminded me of Don't Starve, was that intentional?

Still, I'm not a fan of chess but this feels completely different from chess, especially when the platforms started shifting around. 

Developer

mmh, about the art style, it wasn't intentional I guess. Maybe it's the 2d mixed with 3d that is giving this feeling. I should ask the artist and then reply to you ahahaha. You are not the first one pointing this out! In the future we might consider going more on that style!

I love that style, so yeah maybe in future it would be good to look into it.
