How does your game fit the theme?
I decided to understand the theme in my own way for the sake of new creative discoveries. I broke the concepts of classic chess and billiards to create a new concept of the game. How many millions of games have been played in these great games? It's time to break this loop) In how many games can you beat the game engine?

Very fun game, chess and pool somehow work very well together
First of all very fun to play, but as others have said i feel the idea a little far fetched for this theme. But having an idea and sticking with it is valuable as well, in the end you join the jam for yourself
Definitely not the kind of game I was expecting for the theme, but the game itself is very well-made! The power-ups are so much fun to use. I tried to stack the charge piece multiple times on the same piece but I didn't notice a difference so maybe I just wasted all my points :)
I like the game but I feel it was made with the theme of "combining genres" of the theme poll in mind.
In the other hand the game is awesome and fun. I love the jazzy music and the feeling of pieces clashing with each other is fantastic.
I really enjoyed your take on the theme! :)
Your game feels polished and well-crafted. You did a great job focusing on the core gameplay – it’s clear and easy to understand. You can jump right in and start pushing the chess pieces around the board, which is fun. I absolutely loved the aesthetic, and the music fits perfectly.
Thanks!
damn, really good game, but it doesn't fit the theme really much
Yes) Initially, I wanted to make a roguelike with similar mechanics (+ add a narrative related to the topic). But I realized that I would not have time - so I decided to show the gameplay idea. I think it is better to show a completed idea with good gameplay and if the game becomes even a little popular - implement the original idea
Ok, seriously, Maybe I your interpretation of "breaking the loop" is pushing it a bit, but I gotta admit, I had FUN!
This is what some of my favorite jam games are about! Short and sweet, with really innovative idea behind it!
As for presentation, it feels totally inspired by Balatro, which definitely works for this game.
One more thing- the title! I really like those titles, that make you go "what the...". This one does that, and also describes what you made pretty well :)
Oh, thanks for the review! Yes, the theme is indeed, perhaps, not very well developed - just suddenly an idea for gameplay arose, and I decided to implement it)
I will definitely play your game!
