amazing art style and funny ideas LOL and expressions

FUN, CREATIVE,  ADDICTIVE THAT WAS PERFECT AND I LOVE  DRAWING <33333

cute god of zilla ?????? XD great game play of the ZILLA LOL

LOL, this game is hilarious! 😂 It looks simple at first, but oh boy... it had me laughing way more than I expected. Great job!

THE ARTS THE CATS THIS WAS SOOO FUN LOL I CANT WITH THE CATS

This was fun and cute! It also taught me a few things along the way, which made it feel like one of those educational games in the best way possible haha. 😄

That’s a really smart gameplay mechanic! It took me a little while to get used to it, but once it clicked, it was a lot of fun. Great idea and great execution, congrats! 🎉

I LOVE TEA AND YOU LOVE TEA SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WE LOVE TEA

ohhhhhhhhhh lemme check 

I suppose..  Several levels removed :D . Note that in castling pieces aren't swapped they are moved to different squares from when they started.  If you put a castle in the background we would have accepted it. Calling it Castle Swap or something.

Simple but clever! The mechanics are interesting and make for a fun experience. Great job! 🎮

This is so cute lol! 😄 It was definitely a challenge for me, and I wish there was an option to adjust the difficulty, but overall I had a good time. Nice job!

It has a really cool concept, and the effects look great! You absolutely nailed the gameplay too  everything felt fun and satisfying to play. 😅

Oh, that was hilarious! 😂 The laser and the way the character walks had me laughing the whole time haha. Great stuff!

This one was super fun! There’s a lot to love here  the soundtrack was great, and the way the gameplay was handled felt spot on. Everything came together really well 😆 cats

Thanks for the submission. It's a cool concept. It may not be close enough to the castle theme to be eligible for prizes.

Thanks for the quick reply. still don't see it on the itch page description. links and what not.

Thanks for your submission. Can you share links to all outside assets used in your game description? If AI was involved in programming can you let us know in the description how it was used. The more details in the description the better. The credits doesn't give enough info for us to comfortably qualify this. Thank you!
