Haha! Love this game! Combination of chess strategy with pressure of RTS is brilliant idea!
Never been so eager to be able to move my knight again... :D
Excellent idea and execution, congrats!
Dosen't feel like a jam game at all, just a tad more polish on the UI and it's ready for publishing in several platforms also extra points for Randy ramdom (Why is he one of the easy ones tho?)
Unlike Rimworld, random moves aren't a big advantage in chess 😁 thanks for the kind words, my last few jam gamea really lacked polish so that was a focus of this one. I'm hoping to add mobile support this week!
I've updated the ui slightly based on feedback here -- I made it easier to see when your pieces can be moved and added a little 'in-check' indicator to help with king snipes. Because of the way itch.io works, I've archived the original Jam version here if you'd prefer to rate the original submitted version: https://www.keepflyinggames.com/jams/chess_v051/index.html
Very neat concept, threw me off a bit when the enemy team didn't stop moving, well done.
GREAT GAME! LOVED IT! VERY ORIGINAL IDEA
I think it would be great to see it from the original chess perspective (Chess player here)
Amazing game. Simple yet fun rules and very high level of polish.
Very nice game, the genres chosen are awesome and the way u mix them is also very great, i really enjoyed it :)
(destroyed the AI in easy eddie but higher up they are really challenging)
This played nicely! Although I’m a lil confused about the sideways board hah
I'm kind of embarrassed by this because everyone seems to want a top to bottom board 😅
I do realize where it’s coming tho, when you’re an avid watcher of chess matches. However i’m not one x)
Nice game. Need more visible indicator that your figures can move.
Thanks! Do you think it will help if your pieces flash when they are ready, or do you have an idea?
and some sorf of outline
damn what a fantastic concept. only game ive seen in the gamejam that i actually had fun playing. if you dont win this game jam ill be shocked. good job!
Thanks! Your kind words are definitely keeping me motivated to improve it. There's lots of other good games in this jam too that I hope you find and enjoy :D
Such a great concept. you even have multiplayer, how??? seriously though this has a huge potential for an actual mobile release. it is so fun.
Woah, amazing game! Very fun to play, wasnt expecting it to be so hard
This was awesome!! Wouldn't have thought of mixing chess with an RTS -worked really well also reaaaallly hard lol but reaaaally fun!! Excellent work! :D
This is a quite creative and fun way to play chess.
Loved it , Even harder than bullet chess!
Woah, that's almost as bullet chess but without ANY time to think! Interesting take on the theme, really. And I am impressed you implemented multiplayer.
You can set the rules so the movement time is slower... or faster!
Really fun! can the board be rotated? I'm not used to playing chess sideways. Also would be cool if pieces flashed when they were ready to move and you got notified if you are in check
That's the exact same thought I had! Why is it sideways? :D
My son (who's much better at chess than I am) went back and forth on which way the board should go and maybe I chose the wrong one XD I'll add an option!
I'll add an option for the board rotation! I like the check warning option and the flashing is a good idea too
