Hey Man-o-Valor,
This game is so good! What a cool take on chess and vampire-survivor mechanics. The art, sound and music all worked well together and gameplay felt strategic and fun. There does seem to be some bugs with some power-ups. The muddy one completely froze the bishops and queens, they wouldn't move or attack. I also killed everything on screen but the game wouldn't progress (perhaps an enemy stuck off screen). I may have just understood wrong but the non-pawn moving to adjacent tile power-up didn't work the way I thought it would and lost a run. Is it that they can't move to tiles next to them? But I guess they can still attack. Anywho, those little bugs aside I had a really great time playing this and would be excited to see this polished up into a full game!
I streamed my playthrough of the game (the video has chapters). Check it out:
I have created a Discord as a space for game devs to talk about their experiences and share their games. Would love to have you join!
