I wish I knew chess better for this XD awesome idea

I really like the concept and realization. I feel like my eye cannot catch all mistakes because the moves are made so fast. I understand that chess is played at the fast speed sometime and thats why I love this game! Good job!

The idea for this one is awesome, however the speed that the game's played at, the art style and the fact that the players hands cover the pieces makes it quite hard to follow and spot the rule breaking.

Bravo on this idea. Super clever, unique and clear use of the jams theme. I enjoyed it but admittedly was very bad at it! I agree that the low-res pixel art makes it hard to tell what pieces are what especially when the game is going at such a fast pace. I think any other critiques I have were already addressed below, such as the fast pace and the view being covered too much by the hands/arms. A difficulty setting would be great but you imaged to accomplish a lot within the 48hr limit. Again kudos. With additional polishing this game could be really special. Keep it up!

I am very bad at it, but it's a great idea. A larger view, and pauses after each move would make it more accessible.

very cool, a little too fast for me :P an option to change the difficulty would be nice, but regardless pretty fun :)

As a chess enjoyer, love the idea! I think you're right about what you said in the jam notes though, that the 8-bit style makes it difficult to read. 

Also I found myself spamming pause to process what just happened: Maybe it would be better if after each person plays their moves/illegal moves you had to pick which illegal move they did OR state that there were no illegal moves. Then maybe add a timer. (I might be armchair developing too much lol).

Still a great idea and I enjoyed it!

Very very cool submission, I am not very good at chess but still managed to catch some of the stuff. The description on the page was very useful, maybe there should be some text in game pointing to it? Anyways, very nice job 👍

Really unique concept!! It's a super interesting mixture of Paper's Please and I'm On Observation Duty. As the others have said the perspective and graphics make it a little unclear to tell apart pieces, but other than that this could honestly be a simple and fun game. I love the hesitations and movement of the hands, very well made for a game jam entry. Nicely done!

Super interesting concept, and quite fun! Perhaps could be slowed down slightly, some were hard to catch (i.e if a piece was removed, keeping track of which one to click) but otherwise v good for 48hrs

Interesting idea, game was little too fast for me tho. 

Really nice idea! It was a bit hard to differentiate the pieces, but it was a lot of fun to catch the cheats.

Quite fun, I would slow it down by quite a lot, but I am not a good chess player, so maybe Im biased.

This was fun and aesthetically polished! The board could be a little easier to read, but it wasn't bad. 

It's quite fun, and I like the concept. But the pieces are nearly unreadable.  It's hard to know what's going on. With a bit of polish it could be fun.

Oh, this is definitely an interesting way to view chess. It makes you pay attention to the match, too!

I wish the hand is more than a fist… makes it really hard to read the board..

Hard to see the pieces and its just not that fun

Pretty good, and unique concept, 

Wow
