Loved the concept, but I only seem to get pawns and maybe a horse.
Glad you enjoyed the concept, you have to take pieces in order to have a chance of rolling other pieces. Did you read the tutorial? Eg. If you get to a level with an enemy bishop, you can take that bishop and replace one of the sides of your die with a bishop. This gives you a 1/6 chance of rolling bishops, if that makes sense?
Either way, thank you for playing :)
Ay bro reallyy good art and concept but also i had the idea of maing a game like chess too but i didnt had the guts then so i made kind of ripoff xD. Could you check out mine?
A really good game concept, taking a spin on chess. But it's hard to impossible to get other pieces than the horse. I've encountered bugs where the player can move a piece outside their turn, then it doesn't count and pieces overlap. Also the chess ai is not the best sadly.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback! The later levels have other pieces like the bishop/rook/queen that you can take and replace the sides of the dice with. Not sure if that mechanic was clear?
Yeah unfortunately I ran out of time to fix that bug, there's another bug as well where sometimes enemy pieces will hop over your pieces like they're knights. It was actually my first time making any kind of complex AI like this, and it was quite a challenge! So yeah the AI is a bit dumb, but at least it's functional ;)
Thanks for playing :D
This is really fun, the idea works well, the AI is smart enough to make this nontrivial but dumb enough to let me score some, getting the enemy pieces feels rewarding. Neat -@h
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it :)
