Nice idea and nice game. I like it. Want more :D

Awesome! Very reminiscent of my first gamejam game, InfiKnighte, but with many more chess pieces programmed in. Really polished though considering!

Very good use of the theme, I liked it!

Very nice entry. Good graphics, great mood with the audio.
One thing you could add is a visual feedback when you hover a square to make the queen move.

Brilliant! Very good concept (I like it better than regular chess!). Well done indeed, my highest rated game so far. :)

Nice spin on a classic. Got screwed by a load of rooks spawning at once :)

Any decent chess player can potentially just play this infinitely. Could be a nice tool for people trying to get the board vision to reliably see captures.

Very cool idea! Simple, but well-executed and properly challenging!

This is a real fun game, it's just awesome. Amazing job.

This is a real fun game.

Surprisingly polished for a 48 hour game!

I couldn't get your game to load for me T___T

Is a good version of Chess. Nice game and nice job! I like it... :)

Very nicely done. Music is nice, but I can't say that I enjoy hearing the queen scream.

Shouldn't this be a Jam entry due to the audio sourced from others?

mnemusyne 2013-12-16 22:04

Very interesting concept!

Thanks for all the nice comments guys.

@jillytot - strange, I assume you have the Unity3d plugin installed? Worked for everybody else.

@laaph - I don't know. I only sourced the raw audio. All the music composition, effects on the raw audio etc are done 100% by me. The source audio is royalty free. To me, what you're saying is kind of like saying it should be a jam entry because I used Unity3D which is programmed by others...

I think I enjoy this version of chess more than the original. Really good idea and very well executed. The music and sound set the mood really well too.

Really unique idea for a game. The AI is so good at covering all of their own pieces!

mortus 2013-12-19 16:23

Wow. First time I'm playing horror-chess. I guess you've just invented a new genre right here!

Great atmosphere and great game mechanics idea, too bad it can't be done with real chess in the real world, unless you utilize dice or some other RNG.
