That is a really cool concept!  I enjoyed it immensely.  

Good first entry!  I was unable to escape the facility but had fun trying.

Some feedback on the controls.  Since I control both the Arrow keys and Mouse with my right hand, I found moving and shooting to be awkward.  I'd recommend either adding WASD along with Arrows for movement or add an alternate means of shooting (such as Space bar), or both if you are so inclined.

Thanks.  I'll tinker with gravity and jump velocity to see what could be done.

Could you elaborate on which mechanics are not smooth and what about the jumping didn't feel good?  There is still some time left in the jam so if my controls are wonky I'd like to know so I could try and make corrections.  Cheers.

Thanks!  I'm glad you liked it.

Thanks!  Glad you enjoyed it.  Since you are the Black Pawn I decided to be rough with fall damage to place you at a disadvantage, similar to how black has the disadvantage in actual chess.

Thanks!  Glad you enjoyed it.  The enemies coincide with the different chess pieces and I tried to translate piece movement into level of difficulty - Pawns are Weak the Queen is strongest.  I also set it up so that the not Pawn enemies spawn according to piece count,  2 Rooks, 2 Bishops, 2 Knights, 1 Queen, and the King.  I'm planning on adding block functionality this weekend - last item on the to do list ... well maybe not ... adding menu cursor to the to do list.

Thanks for the feedback!  I'm planning to do one last update before the jam ends, so I'll add the UI and climbing to the list.  Cheers.

Thanks!  I'm glad you like it.

Here is the error.  Using windows 10.  Nothing happens when I press F8 otherwise I'd include a capture of that too.

I think something is broken or a plugin isn't working correctly.  As soon as I descent into the first dungeon the game crashes.

Also, out of curiosity, what plugin(s) are you  using for your auto save functionality?

The lag is a know issue with Lecode's LeTBS plugins.  I've reduced the scopes of the skills so it shouldn't hang as much.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention!  I forgot that I updated some maps at the last minute to match thematically, but didn' t update the tileset configurations.

I to discovered friendly fire through killing myself.  You're meant to be a little squishy and suffer the occasional death.  How often you have died will eventually factor into the story and unless it happens within the first few battles there is no tangible penalty for dying in the submission other than having to retrace your steps a bit.  There actually a little bit of a teaser for future plot if you  do die.

The number of commands shown is customizeable in the plugin.  I'll look into tweaking the settings and see if it can be displayed better.

Wonky how?
