Very nice, Last level was quite triky. Well done!
Cool modification idea to chess!
Well, that was a really unique take on the theme. The graphics were good and everything felt well polished for a game made in 7 days. Great game! It just shows your creativity.
Please take some time to play and rate my game as well. I would really appreciate it. Thanks a lot!
Really great game and really creative use of the theme! Love the visuals. I just recently got into chess, so it was def a fun play. Felt super polished (except the win screen loads a little late). Great job!
It's really great. I can see myself playing this for hours upon hours. Really good job!
Would really love an executable file for this game, so I can open it up whenever, without going on a browser.
Sure, I cannot upload right now but after jam ends I will upload executables. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks!
It's a really unique take on the theme, I haven't seen many games similar to this! I really liked it :D
Thank you, played yours too. Good job.
Great job with this, refreshing take on the theme! the progression was nice too.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.
Everything was great besides a few inconsistances that are really no problem. For instance the game says "you win" after the next scene is already loaded. Also the green UI stays put until you click again in the new scene. Other than that I have no complaints a very unique and cool game. 5/5
You are right, next time I'll work more on GUI. Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
i like the chess comcept and the 3d pixel art
PS : i know how to play chess
Thank you! Hearing this from a chess player, I'm glad you liked it.
I really like the way you repurposed the well known chess mechanics to make an engaging puzzle game. Good work.
Thank you!
Really cool puzzle game! I had a good time trying to figure out each level. Super well done!
Thank you very much!
Criticism -
There could have been a couple more sound effects and an indicator of where certain pieces can go/capture you from when clicking on them would be a nice addition as I sometimes found myself making dumb mistakes because I forgot how certain pieces moved.

The game was extremely innovative and creative, chess is definitely not the first thing that would come to mind when hearing the theme. I also liked the puzzle elements and the design of introducing each enemy, it really helped explain how each one worked in the context of the game.
Thank you, I've thought about adding indicators like how the pieces move but it would made game too easy so I didn't. But I think you are right about some pieces are not easy to recognize when you dont know how to play chess. It could be better if I added a tutorial.
Thanks for your comment. Really helpful.
Liked the idea, I'd love if you played and rated mine as well :D
Played and rated! I liked the art style and different endings.
The puzzles were well put together, challenging enough to stump you but still have that "aha!" moment. Good puzzler!
Thank you! Played and rated yours, it was fun.
Nice game! The concept is a very unique and innovative idea. The visuals are also clean and nice to look at and the music is quite relaxing.
Great job! :D
Thanks for the comment. I also played and rated your game. Good job!
A chess puzzle game is pretty unique and fun. Great work!
Thank you! I also played your game and really like the art style.
Nice
Thanks!
I really like this,
I've always known how to play chess but was useless at it.
Now I've finally won a match, I bet this would be good for teaching kids the game.
I didn't think about teaching kids, great idea.
I will play and rate your game too :)
Thanks!
