Well, I wished i could turn around the camera, for me at least it was kinda hard to know which piece is what, but still nice concept, and even there is some strategy when you merge pieces, because you lose one unit in exchange of making one more powerful. If you further develop this game, you should add "En Passant" (check in google if you don't know) and castling move. And maybe you could unmerge pieces, and diferent types of merges, but still nice game.

Also maybe you should check the game I have collaborated on: https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2021/rate/1084061 whenever you can 👍
Thank you for all your interesing idea. If we keep working on this, I think we would probably take some of those ideas into account. The unmerging idea already came while playing but was not being done because of the time constraints and the already pretty bad code base. I think I'll personally take a little break from the jam but I'll try to play your game because of the critical and kind feedback.
