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?


Here is my game if you wanna play it, sorry for linking it in the comment but itch is bugged and isn't displaying it in the comment: https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2020/rate/698697#post-1648262

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 !

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.

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
