Well its chess, although alternating turns isn't enforced

Interesting fuzzy graphic style. As Wevel pointed out, turn order does not seem to be enforced, and you can capture the king if you want.

Doesn't seem to load for me.

Well It's chess and it works, Chess is fun but it doesn't have anything to do with the theme.

What about theme?

What does chess have to do with You are the monster?

Fully fuctioning chess! Good job!

It's chess, but it doesn't check for win conditions or turns. Funky visual style.

Really just chess without any structure, I did win but I also lost. Nice artstyle.

macecraft 2015-08-26 20:13

So yes, it's chess with a limited feature set (no turn order, no win condition). The graphics style is interesting though. The square selection seems to go off kilter when moving towards the top of the board.

Nice art style indeed, but you missed the theme completely.

Unless you are subliminally telling us that we, like everyone else, are only pawns to one another, willed and captured by each other's whims and fancies until there is nothing left...

Well, it's chess and it's not even working correctly (there is something weird going on with the turn order). I'm a monster, I'm playing chess! But I liked the graphics, though.

Didn't have much to do with the theme and there wasn't much of a 'game' since the enemy didn't move. It was functional chess though so I'll give you that.

Cool start for a chessboard...
But i feel alone playing with myself with no win condition :( King's moves are not locked when he's in check.
Also it could have been somehow better to fit the theme...

Interesting start for a project, but right now it doesn't really do all that much I'm afraid. It doesn't seem to implement all of chess's rules or even enforce many of the game mechanics.
