phenomenal, please put this on android so i can take it with me
It's a fun little boss fight!
Great concept! I like how it makes light comedy of what you're not supposed to do in chess. However for the gameplay I think the enemy patterns need to change based on the kings position.
I recently started playing chess and this was a game that caught my eye. Great presentation! The addition of the anti camp taught me a lot more hahah, for eg I had no Idea diagonal moves were a thing until I played with it. My high score was 69, needless to say I had to stop there.
Check out my game too when you have the chance :D https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2020/rate/695900
Really cool concept! Also like the anti-camp option! :)
try my game if you'd like (itch isn't displaying my game that i worked on) :https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2020/rate/696391
Very fun game and not exactly what I expected :)
Very cool idea with the Anti-Camp double points too.
One thing that I would like to see here would be that the King has the actual King's moveset, so Up-Right Up-Left Down-Left Down-Right added to the moveset. That would give it more flavour.
Other than that it was quite fun and felt like a boss battle in some kind of old-school game :D
Thanks for the review :) the king can move diagonally, you just need to hold the buttons a bit more
Okay, I'm just dumb :D I tried and felt like it's not working. Will give another playthrough now!
Ridiculous. Fun!
This is sooo fun. I have no clue how you came up with this idea, but well done !
Cool idea to use a chess board for different attacks, I made a chess variant too try it out
Wow! Really fun game! It feels very nice to dodge an attack in the last second haha! Anyway, you did a very good job, I would love for there to be some more music and sound effects! Also are the unresponsive controls a part of the game, or is that a bug?
haha, thanks for the review. The moves do have a 0.6 sec cooldown
I would suggest making the game board black&white cuz orange and red confused me for a bit there, other than that a very fun game!
Nice game but I found that the king movement is a little bit stiff. That makes it hard to avoid the attacks at the beginning of the game when you are still learning the concept. The introduction was a nice touch !
really good idea!! Liked the looks of it too! Simple yet challenging. My best score was 50
now this is what i call thinking out of the box!
My best score is 119, I also discovered that some of the attacks don't damage you, if i had to guess i would say it's probably because the black pieces are moving so fast, that they don't collide with they player.
okay ngl this is probably the last thing i expected out of a chess game lol, really cool tho, gotta be quick on your toes to not get rekt, i like it
Neat concept
This could be a cool mobile game! Feels like an Undertale bossfight
Seems strange at first, I didn't knew what was going on, but it's perfect for the theme tho!
I like it, it's strangely satisfying to see the pieces zooming around the board
