Fantastic game.
Simple, yet complex, and still addictive.

I loved it.

Developer

thank you!)

loved it. Stylish too.

Rules were pleasantly simple to pickup on.

outwitted the AI with my giga-galaxy brain.

Maybe with a bit more sfx and cinematic stuff, I could see this being delightfully dramatic.

Good main mechanic. I also liked the overall feeling of the game. For me all 4 levels were exactly the same, is that on purpose? I also felt like the music is very low quality or fidelity, my ears hurt a bit from the low bitrate distortion (or maybe it was an effect idk). I think this prototype is pretty good and it has a lot of potential to grow (different chess pieces, or different boards, special squares etc), and it would be fun to play against other players too :) 

Developer

thanks for sharing) yes and yes. there is 4 levels of hardness but it’s a bit slightly different. music made bad on purpose.

Good mood and atmosphere, fun gameplay. Felt tense! Looking forward to more variations on the piece's movement/ size of the board etc. Could be a very fun strategy game!

Stylistically fantastic. The gameplay is also intuitive, and simple, yet requires some good strategic thinking. 

Wonderful work!

Interesting game, I like the style.  And I like how the faces in the background track your cursor.

Great aesthetics! Super creepy, loved the way the faces moved toward you.

  • The UI needs some contrast 
  • Need some creepy sounds for moving your piece or when you win/lose. Maybe creepy laugh, bone chattering 

Overall love it

Developer

Cool little game. Absolutely love the style, definitely would love to see you expand on it. Great job!

Developer

interesting game. The vibes are great for sure. I'm probably doing something wrong, but can't seem to move forward to new AI? I've trapped the opponent multiple times now and it just restarts.

Developer

for sure, sometimes game feels frustrating. can’t wait to fix it, thanks a lot for playtest!
