Nice idea, but requires a lot of polishing, you can just spam chess pieces and win all the time) Good job here!

This is such a unique idea, and a fun puzzle mechanic! Some situations felt wrong, but tbf I'm not that good at chess lol. Good job!

This was a great idea. Well done! I found the placement logic/menu selection seemed to be interfering with each other, and I'm not sure the check logic was perfect. Overall a neat thing to try out though.

I think I broke it haha! I kept clicking in one place and won 🤔 Chess pieces are a pretty cool!

I think the concept of this was really neat. And the overall feel was fun! My feedback would be to have the UI help say "don't mate white kings" cause that confused me. It's mentioned in the tutorial but at the bottom, I skipped thinking it was just chess rules which is partly my fault. But the game has in big letters "mate all red kings". Also, a minor/insignificant bug I discovered was if I spammed clicked really quickly they could all stack on the same tile. Great game idea! :D

Interesting take on chess! I do feel like you didn't account for red king capture another unit though

Amazing game I loved it

Really interesting idea! Somehow the explanatory text overlaps the chessboard, which can impact the gameplay. Good concept, anyway

The mechanics seem like a really cool idea, but the gameplay was a bit confusing. Really neat overall!
