damn this is a really good game, such a simple idea that works so well, i like how you managed to make the puzzles interesting without adding new mechanics!
Really enjoyed this one, rly unique concept and great visuals!
Reveal to me how this horse arrived on the chessboard!
Fun little game :D
Neat little game, good idea. There was really never any danger though the timer is pretty generous and actually to slow most of the time. If you could move as soon as you click a square that would have been good. Decent puzzle though.
Thanks for your feedback! I planned that the time will go down in later levels.. but then the deadline passed almost unexpectedly. Time goes so fast in game jams :) It's a question of ballancing though.. thats always hard in game jams - for some people it's too easy, for others too hard
This game looks cool and polished. Clever concept. :) It may be interesting to add procedural level generation to it.
Thanks! I actually thought about procedural generation of levels.. I had a simple perlin noise based level generator in there but had no time to polish it to generate nice and playable levels.. I agree though! If I manage to polish level generator I could make a small mobile game from it.
Really good idea and well executed, nice level design and clean mechanics. Would love to this improved upon after the jam. Keep up the good work 👍
Actually quite fun and could be expanded upon :)
This game was really fun! A really unique concept with good level design. The pressure of having all of my moves limited to 3 seconds kept me on my toes. I've never played anything like this, so five stars for fun and originality. My only complaints are that the presentation of the game could use a little work. The game is subtitled "a chess puzzle rodeo," but I just kind of felt like I was stuck in a random dungeon. Maybe if the levels looked more like a chess board, or you went all out with the rodeo theme, the game would look a little better. Overall, I had a really great time with this game!
Really creative! Love puzzles based on chess!
Fun concept, really like the extra pressure added due to having a time limit in choosing your next move :)
Well thought out level design that reminded me of how bad I am at chess! Lots of fun :)
