The different effects are fun to use and the deadly side forces you to actually think and not brute force your way through. Visually it also looks very good and I see the potential for a great puzzle game in the future.
Super cool concept and fun to play! I realy liked the sin side of the dice which made is challenging, I'd maybe speed up the movement of the pawns the level with lots of them was hard to play because of it.
This is such a fun concept that is worth putting in some more polish and making it a fully fledged game. Great work!!!
Fun concept that is worth developing further
The gameplay was very fun, with more time spent on this, this could be a very fun puzzle game, the potential is there!
Cool concept! The "3" face seemed a fair a bit stronger than the other faces. The dice display in the top left corner really helps with decision making.
Great and fun mechanics! Really creative concept. Great job. It may even be expanded in the future!
Psst! Rate my game too!
Absolutely incredible. So creative and fun. Everything about this is so well done. I was sad when I beat it. Small bug: you can slide with the green onto a rook and you are on top of each other. I died eventually but it looked wrong. You should shatter or it should be a kill. Small fixable problem in an otherwise incredible game. Didn't take away from my enjoyment at all. Tutorial progression, scaling difficulty, and level design are all fantastic. Music is catchy and the dialog is witty. You should absolutely further develop and expand this game. Great job.
Great game! I like how you let us preview the effects of our moves with that layout on the top left corner. And great art--it fits the minimalist theme very well.
Super clever concept! I honestly enjoyed it way more than I thought I would!
This might seem minor, but it's really smart how you previewed the dice faces. A lot of games in this jam have had a similar mechanic of orienting the dice, but this was the first game I played where that felt intuitive and easy to follow. Great job!
One change I would like to see is having some sort of indicator showing where the pawns are going to move next, to make it easier to plot your next move. That, and having the pawns themselves move a bit quicker.
Presentation was also great! Graphics were simple but they looked good and everything was very readably on the screen. Also, the title page and the art for Jack were especially impressive.
Great submission!
An interesting concept, and I liked the restriction added on a later level.
Nice work~
loved the mechanic and concept. The art and music fit together well.
Really great concept! Could definitely be made into a full game.
I think the yellow bullet ability was maybe a bit too powerful, and stopped it being a puzzle/strategic, but other than that, it's a great game!
pretty cool game! Jack sure is a cool food B)
Love the artstyle! Epic puzzles, nice sound fx
overall, pretty epic
The tutorial is really well done, I understood exactly how the game is played and that is not very common in game jams so good job! I love the gameplay and I was sad that there wasn't more levels.
(You should add an option to skip pawn movement animation because it breaks the pacing)
I love it. Maybe because we made something very similar :P
I wish the enemies would move all at once, so they don't take that much time.
Cool game and nice art , fun take on the idea too !! loved it :))
pretty gosh darn cool
The puzzles were unique and fun! The chess piece sequence did take a bit of time, but its fine... Good job!
The puzzles were a little easy but still very interesting and fun to play through! Great idea, and great job! If you continue it, I'm really interested in the Jack character.
Very fun. I would play more levels
