One of my favourite games of the jam. An amazing, well-paced mix of insane, shooty levels and tactical ones, interspersed. I loved the "take the shot" kind of gameplay where nothing is really random, and you really feel like a sniper when you get that "green light" for the king.
And I don't say this lightly: the BEST enemies of the jam, if not some of the best enemies in any small game I've ever played. They felt like they could predict my movements, and faking them out or being caught off-guard by them felt awesome. It felt as amazing to trip a queen up as it was to snipe the king. And perhaps emergently, the knights were unpredictable and very hard to counter. Also, I don't think there was anything wrong with the tank controls, that's how a tank should be: a bit slow, a bit clumsy, and very different from the brainy chess enemies. Maybe the tank's hitbox should have been shrunk a bit, because enemies could fly by me and kill me.
The only thing that could make this better is some self-imposed challenges or achievements about using fewer shots than you have.
I love this.
My first full 5/5 this jam. I hope you get featured and I want to see a devlog!
