Fun game, Nice concept

This game has a sick concept! Really enjoyed it! 

Submitted

Pretty fun. I like the concept, it’s very unique

This is a really fun game. Started with the queen and the solution to room 3 is really satisfying!

Developer

Aaah thank you, so glad you enjoyed it. Also well done on finding the solution to room 3

This is a genius idea! Clearing opponents felt really fun especially when you do it in one attempt. This can also be a great way to teach beginners the basics of chess. It doesn’t feel repetitive since you always have a new piece with new moves and levels are randomly generated? A solid 5 for me!

Developer

Thank you so so much! Means a lot <3

Very interesting and fun game idea.
Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't figure out when my opponent makes a move and when he doesn't. 
Still i really enjoyed it.👍

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

Really awesome concept for a game and some really good levels as well. Just a bit of a shame that it resets you all the way. I made it to the final room and there I made a blunder and I didn't want to start all the way at the beginning again :( Still though really good.

Developer

Oh no, I'm so sorry! To make it to the final room is very impressive. Many thanks for your feedback :)

Submitted

So satisfying when you clear a room in one go!

Thank you! So glad you liked it :)

Interesting idea!

I really liked the idea, it's really cool! the only thing that would be cool is to somehow explain it as you go through it, because I didn’t fully understand why my starting piece disappeared.

Submitted

thats a really cool idea, had fun playing this one its really satisfying getting the whole room in one chain

Developer

Thank you so much!
