Absolutely amazing! The art is so good and the even the gameplay is addicting. I found myself wanting to take a gamble and keep going.

Wow! The pixel art style is awesome! The UI also gives off a very Christmas-y vibe!

I loved the poop haha, it surprised me completely. The  jumping mechanic really adds another level to the game and makes it feel complete!

The concept of the bell shooting out light was really cool! Love the  grinch.

This was such a cool game to play! I also really loved the ending tune being jingle bells!

The game loop is really good! I enjoyed it! I also loved the pixel art done on the little Santa.

Thank you!!! :)

Yeah sorry about that! I didn't want to make a complete copy of chess but now that you mention it, it feels awkward having an unorthodox pattern as the setup doesn't it? And to answer your chess ai question, I did do it all myself but I didn't use any sort of complicated pathfinding formula. I just calculated each possible move the enemy can do and then gave priority to the pieces that can capture a player piece. Amongst those pieces I gave priority based on the piece value. The piece values mimic the value of real chess. Pawn = 1 Knight = 3 Bishop = 3 Rook = 5 Queen = 8 and I gave King 9. Though the king isn't a lose factor so his value should be a lot lower lol. Anyways, thanks for your nice comment!

Thanks for the kind words! :}

I appreciate it! I used jingle bells as the objective of the player but in hindsight I should have probably used a regular bell. And yeah I realized after uploading the game the knight was moving one extra square when moving one down and three over on both sides. I fixed it but I don't know how to update a game since it's my first one haha. Thanks!
