Very interesting concept!

Surprisingly complex, good work.

Nice concept :)
good job

This really requires you to think, which is good if its a puzzle game. Good concept.

Generally I love chess puzzles and this game was pretty cool, also a little easy, would have loved to see more puzzles but great game so far!

Hi there. Interesting idea, good chessboard puzzler. Got to level 7 before messing up a few times. Nice level design integrated with tutorial, good job!

This is amazing, I love it. Very unique idea, great execution. :) Shame about the sound though!

Level 7 is broken. I ran the castle off a hole and he got the queen ;D
I also often run the king off the edge and it doesn't count. :(
Anyway, love it.

Great puzzle idea! It is a little too easy just to guess the solution with random presses though.

Well, it's too difficult for me, but I accidently got near the end of this game and then it crashes. Sometimes I've just pressed some keys and I've won. Interesting concept, but well I'm not the best kind of player fot it. :D

And there's interesting bug - when you move before all interactions are proccessed, it messes up them and they start again and sometimes in very different order - sometimes this can be exploited to win the level.

Also - great humour. :)

Simple but cool game.
I always pressed the opposite direction because I expected the board to move there, not the screen...

And I spammed a lot, but it didn't crash, good job!

Firefox crashed on stage 19 D: Neat concept though!

feizenbara 2014-12-09 13:39

IT seems like there are more bugs and crashes than expected :( Sorry about that, and thanks for still playing and rating it

Good game and I like the mini chess concept. I think the colours of the text should possibly be updated.

fuchter 2014-12-09 19:07

Love the concept! nice work!

coderdozer 2014-12-09 19:09

nice idea, was interesting to play

natura-time 2014-12-09 20:02

It's a nice job ! like it !

lokiman 2014-12-09 21:09

Interesting chess variation. I didn't really get it in first few levels but then it suddenly started to make sense :D Also, awesome graphics! :D

webravenz 2014-12-10 12:47

very nice concept, i'm not good enough to chests to end it xD

nsadie 2014-12-10 19:59

Wow, great entry! I really liked the concept, would have loved more levels as this feels more like a tutorial setup for a couple of very difficult puzzles! I would play a full version of this!

tomvert 2014-12-10 20:58

Very cool idea, a bit confusing maybe, but very interesting, it got me hooked quite some time.

Really inventive puzzle mechanic. It takes some time to wrap your head around how the pieces on the edge will move with the camera but ones in the middle won't.

Given the small screen size and simple controls, this could be at home on mobile.

You may want to uncheck the Audio category for judging, since the game has none.

wevel 2014-12-13 15:05

Nice game, I did manage to get it to crash by pressing down while a piece was being taken.

hbocao 2014-12-27 13:51

Wow! Awesome use of the theme and a so well known game as chess! Really makes you think too. Awesome job! Keep working on it. It could be a hit on mobile.

jpmit 2014-12-27 21:40

Really cool idea. Good take on the theme. Nice humor.

I suspect you could make some very difficult puzzles in the future...
