Kudos to all you jammer who made a variation of chess! I LOVE YOUR ARTWORK! Its so clean and polished! Each piece has a ton of charm. Gameplay is fun and smooth. Challenging levels never felt ridiculous. Really great stuff overall!

Would love if you could check mine out too! Or not, no pressure ;) https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/462672?after=20#post-876644

We were also thinking about making a chess game with only 1 piece but couldn't really do something with it. Glad that you were able to make a fun puzzle game out of it!

This is brillant! Really! I don't have much to say!

 - The main character is cute and represents the knight chess very well.
 - Love the way the others chess pieces became the enemies of the game.
 - The level design is soooo coool.
 I hope you will get featured in video.

 Great job! :)

Very unique game with cool mechanics and a nice artstyle! Also like the animations and game feel :)

Really like the idea of adding the queen as an adversarial piece and using pawns as, well, pawns. If you expand this idea in the future, I'd love to see more chess piece types and possibly larger levels.

Wow, this game is so amazing! So polished, so fun to play! Really great proof that you don't need much time to do something spectacular :).

I really liked the game.
Levels are made very well, the complexity gradually increases. The first levels can be considered a tutorial. The animations and design are just great. And the idea itself is simple but excellent in execution.

I will be happy if you could also check our game: https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/460954

Wow, super impressed by this one! The design is fantastic, the introduction of mechanics is great too. Sticks to the Mario formula of introducing in a safe way, then a not safe way, and then challenges your mastery with a spin on the formula. That queen is a MONSTER. 

I loved this game a lot, played it all the way through to the end. Amazing work.

Glad you noticed the Mario formula :DDD 
I try to apply it in every game I make! It's so satisfying to hear that Hahahaah!

My friend, who did the art, focused a lot on making the queen the most ferocious ( but funny ) character x)

Btw,  our main character loves your profile pic Ahahahahah!

Submitted(+1)

I really love how you introduce new mechanics. There are a good enough number of levels and you managed to explore the game's idea really well! The game doesn't feel like it had been done in a short amount of time. Artwork and sounds are great too! Good job!

5/5

Best game that I've played on this jam so far, I really love the twist and how you used the chess pieces. Amazing entry, congrats to the whole team.

Really interesting use of a classic game to create something really unique. Great game!

Submitted(+1)

Great game dude, the design is amazing (loved the nipples) and the puzzles got smart and challenging pretty fast. The only thing I had problems with was depth perception, maybe distinguishing in some way the top of one block from the side of the ones behind it would help with that. Something like a gradient shadow down the side of the blocks.. but I really am nitpicking at this point, this is truly a great entry. 5/5 design.
