I had a lot of fun with this one. It’s such an interesting spin on chess. I loved the sound effects!
Nice work! It was very fun even for someone who doesn't know how to play chess like me.
Suggestion: medium level description was a hard to read, my guess was 50% but it wasn't very clear to me.
Excellent core mechanic, great game-feel, nice story, not too hard (if you know chess). Great entry. Well done!
Well made! I see potential like that shotgun chess game.
Great concept and execution. Witty like Monty Python. I was sweating towards the end. When I thought the K and Q were safe, I needed 2 more donuts. Luckily, I pressed the Easy button at the start or I would have been toast. Nice work! Thanks.
Fun game! Unsure if this is a bug or a feature but I can move the pawn down vertically and capture any piece as long as it's in that straight line! After that initial move, I can only move it normally. So I captured a Knight piece at the opposite end of the board in one move using a pawn. But otherwise, this is such a cool take on chess and the theme!
Sounds like a bug. I tried to recreate and couldn't. I'll investigate. Thanks for letting me know :)
Super fun game to to play. The only thing that would have been nice is a tutorial because I kind of had to figure out what was going on. Other than that, it was super fun.
An actual good gameplay twist on a classic board game, makes me want more of this like an infinite mode
