How does your game represent "Power"?
-----------POWER FANTASY TACTICS------------
--CONQUER YOUR ENEMIES WITH POWER--

Destroy your enemy's units to take their power for your own.
Use your power meter to upgrade your units and spawn new ones. Activate your king's BIG MODE to get a sublime rush of power. Just be careful...because the enemy is coming for you, and they are power hungry too.

This spin on chess is a great change and mix with the theme. Or though the rules are hard at the start so some easy tutorial levels would be nicer to the newer player. (Especially if the person hasn't played chess before)

Thanks for playing and commenting!  Yeah, I agree with you, there needs to be a tutorial as the mechanics are pretty complicated.

Interesting game, it's like chess with ranged attacks.

Though, I will say that weaker units (especially fighter) seem to be much more worth it than anything more expensive.

Thanks for playing!  Yeah, it started out as chess with some extra stuff.  And you're right about the balance. I barely had time to playtest it because programming the systems kicked my ass.

Yeah, that's perfectly understandable in a jam. :P

This was quite fun. With a tutorial and a bit of polish this could be a nice game overall outside of the jam!

Developer

Thanks for playing and commenting!  I agree, it direly needs a tutorial. I had a hell of a time trying to explain all the mechanics in a text box. lol

Yeah I had the same problem - if only and extra <insert number of days> and I'd have finished XYZ! I had a tutorial button on my menu from the first day but it was the thing I never got the chance to do!

Very cool! I enjoyed the chess-like elements :)

Developer

Hey Thanks for playing!  This actually started out as "POWER CHESS" until I realized I wasn't excited about chess, then I turned it into a Tactics RPG (sort of) since I love those games.

This is a fun little strategy game with potential. I would love to see animations introduced - attack, movement, etc.
Keep it up!

Developer

Thanks for playing!  You are absolutely right, I would love to add a lot of polish to it overall with the things like animation and moving to different squares.

Wow that was surprisingly fun, gameplay was similar to chess. very well made!

Developer

Hey thanks for the comment!  This is the first game I've put in front of the public so I'm tickled that somebody thought it was fun!  It actually started out as "POWER CHESS" but then I changed it more in line with Disgaea et al since I decided chess was boring as a concept with 3 days left LOL
