Even though it's not entirely complete, I really liked the movement, and the overall idea looks nice) I’m not sure if it was intentional, but I found the missing spike piece to be a very cool exploration reward, especially since it allowed you to completely avoid the queen)

Submitted

I like the idea! I can see the potential for this though. If developed further this could be a turn-based cult classic. Keep it up!

I got spawn camped by the queen but at least I got the pawn to kill the other pawn somehow? Not sure what I was suppose to do in game lol but it's pretty neat!

Developer(+1)

Lol sorry the game is unfinished, you were supposed to take the pawn to the end of the board, but it doesnt quite work, and also the queen is bugged

Submitted(+1)

Interesting idea, I like it, but once I have awoken the queen It was nearly impossible to come back to the same place, let alone continue onwards :s

Developer

Oh yea sorry the queen is bugged, she doesn't go back to idle state even when you die...

Nice game,  I like the interpretation you get from chess.

Developer

Thanks :)

I managed to get to the queen, though I wasn't sure how to defeat them.

It's really cool how there are sections of the board where you can go off the actual board and into the white space. It feels almost gamebreaking, but it was built into the actual game.

The movement controls, where there's the dot,  were also interesting.

Developer

Oh yea, you can't defeat the queen, you were supposed to escape from her, but I didn't had time to add that, glad you liked the game though.

cool game! found a glitch where if you die while fighting the queen the queen will follow you to the spawn point and spawn-camp you

Developer

Thanks! and yea I only found that glitch after submitting lol. I will fix those bugs soon.

This has SOOO much potential you just need more time I truly think this can be very cool though. 

Developer

I'm really happy to hear that, I also think this has some pretty good potential and I do want to explore this idea further beyond the jam.

Thanks for playing

You do certainly have some cool stuff happening in that game. I hope you can possibly finish it later

Developer(+1)

thank you :D 

and yes I do plan to finish the game after the jam, not sure about a full game, but I will at least finish this jam version with all the features I haven't managed to add in time.

I like the concept - A menu to pause or quit, music, and more chess pieces around maybe blocking your path/trying to attack you would be good additions IMO. The movement system was fun :)

Developer

Glad you like it! I did planned to have more pieces and music too, but I sadly didn't had much free time to work on the game.

But I do plan on working on this game after the jam ends, until its at least similar to my original idea of the jam project, which had a lot of scope creep for a jam game lol.
