✔️ Very creative concept, nice twist on a classic game. I could see this expanded in many different ways.
✔️ Simple and effective art style/UI.
➖ I think the AI could have used a bit more work. One time it literally moved its king right into harms way.
Really neat concept! What a unique way to interpret and implement the theme – I'm genuinely impressed!
The visuals are decent and serve their intended purpose and the UI is clear and concise.
Overall, pretty great game.
Very unique idea. Really enjoyed it.
This was really cool. I really like the idea of going into a game, and having to learn the rules from the opponent, similarly it seems the pieces are randomly generated. Cool!
unique and fun
this is quite challenging, managed to beat it once. Interesting Idea! It's a bit frustrating when there are situations where you can't do anything... there was a situation at the start of the game when the AI moved one most left pawn (2 to right and 3 downward) and next move he just captured the king, and there was nothing I could :/ but it was still interesting to play other matches :)
I'm almost more impressed the AI was able to route to the king. Randomizing the board was my last-ditch effort to add replayability because I'd really wanted to add handpicked levels but ran out of time. Anyways, I'm glad you liked the idea :D
It's quite original, i'll give you that.
