I'm gonna be honest, I think the concept is amazing BUT the rules are really hard to understand for such a complex twist to chess. Maybe a tutorial or a youtube video explaining it would've been perfect. Really cool game though once you understand it :)
CON GRA TS! Super sick idea and loved how u used the theme. I would only say that maybe artwork needs some polishing as well as the main idea of how to play the game. I would have loved to see interactive tutorials/ images w text. Overall, highest rating I've given so far, loved the idea and was super fun to play. Congrats!!
Nice take on the theme. The general idea also seems very interesting and I had fun playing two rounds. Audio is pretty polished, graphics are simple but nice, especially the glow effect looks great.
Connection rules are a bit overwhelming and it was not always clear to me what was happening. I managed to win one round anyway. :) The game would probably profit a lot if the rules can be simplified without changing their essence too much.
This looks like a lot of fun.
AI is kinda wonky, because it doesnt understand it can checkmate itself by moving to close.
Everything else feels fun and great. Can imagine playing this with 2 people would be hillarious

I love revisited old concept, realy nice design. the system seems realy deep and intricate, would love to get more into it !
I feel like the tutorial could've been done a bit better. The font looks good on the title but as paragraphs of text it becomes overwhelming to read. Once I started playing it and thinking about it, it made a lot of sense. So much sense, that regular chess looks unrealistic. The concept is well done, and it's less about destruction and capturing rather distributing yourself across the grids, which makes much more sense from a chess perspective
Did not understand how to play, won because black did a ilegal move. Overall really cool twist in chess, with a basic tutorial this could go well on steam or something similar.
I love the game and can see the work that went into every element. The hardest ai is a bit terrible at calculating and forfeited the game to me by giving away their king. This is my new favorite so far!
