Pretty interesting as a puzzle game! Could see it expanding quite a bit.

Hey! i liked a lot your game! (only missed a bit some sound efects at least)

I couldnt get past the 3rd puzzle tho... enough for me to aknowledge a good game! 😁

splitpainter 2018-04-23 23:28

This is so cool!

fingolfin 2018-04-23 23:35

Wow guys, this easly could be an actual game. Graphics are really cool and moody and the game is actually really fun to play. Congrats!

Great idea! Love the idea to use chess movement so anyone playing will easily understand it. Also, great graphics you got there

Really cool idea and game. I would love to have known where the enemys spawn, to get a better feel of the chess aspect. But the polish and execution was really nice.

Dope!

Awesome!

That's a good use of PixiJS :)

Very cool concept and nice visuals, would love to see this expanded into a full game!

Wow, this horse is amazing!

Very cool chess game, the graphics are great and the design take on the different types of chess pieces is on point. The puzzles were tricky but not impossible. Took me a while to wangle my way around to the exit on the last level but managed it eventually. Really enjoyed it, great work!

Great puzzle game with awesome visuals. I've got most of the puzzling problems on a 4th level but managed to beat it on ~ 10th attempt :) And the rest was just a matter of time to complete. Good horse. GJ! 2018-04-25 (16).png

Solid game design and great art! More levels, some supporting mechanics and it's ready for mobile. Good job!

The last was challenging, so I kind of bruteforced it. Want more levels! :) Beautiful game!

As @synedraacus pointed out on [our entry](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/rogue-pawn), it looks like this competition has made "chess-souls" a new genre 😄

A decent little puzzle game you have here, with fun art and some interesting puzzling! well done! I would have loved some audio to go with it, of course, but a weekend only provides so much time! Also, on chrome w/ a 4k monitor, I had to go fullscreen in my browser to see the bottommost part of the screen, which made finding the button to continue after the instructions a bit confusing at first :)

Not sure if that's an issue at different resolutions/browsers or not.

this was such a great game - should really be explored more - thanks for making it

sleepydev 2018-04-28 00:05

This was so much fun and I'd love to see it expanded upon. Thanks for a great game.

quentin-warnant 2018-04-28 21:05

nice art style, I like the moodiness of the levels. Enjoyed the puzzle part of the levels mixed with surviving with enemies. Well done!

ehtd 2018-04-29 03:35

Very nice, good puzzles and great mix of chess with puzzles. Loved the graphics.

maxklimenok 2018-04-29 04:20

Cool game! Adding some simple soundtrack and audio effects next time would be really nice. And lastly - I want more levels and would like to see other chess monster-figures!

synedraacus 2018-04-29 14:44

A nice game, but I found myself jumping randomly on the last level until it finally worked. Though it tells more about my chess skills than about the game, I guess.

peachtreeoath 2018-05-06 05:29

Nice concept - I always like takes on "what happens when...", and the art is great! It definitely adds to the underworld feeling. The levels were challenging at first and made me want to beat them all. I was impressed by the AI but I finally conquered!

mrerdalural 2018-05-08 13:18

Very cool idea! Our game plays very similar to yours which I found interesting. I really liked the level design and the challenge of the game. Having an endless run mode for this game might be very fun!

I really enjoyed playing this! Thank you!

jiri-hysek 2018-05-08 13:38

Stunning graphics and I really like the concept. I'm following you on itch.io and hoping more levels will come :) Too bad you didn't make an audio and some battle music tracks..

those-30-ninjas 2018-05-08 15:06

Love the horse's animation. Nice job overall :)

teklarit 2018-05-08 18:37

Very fun puzzle game! (I think game need more sound, figures, player progress). Good work!

poio 2018-05-08 19:07

I won ! It works, and it's quite fun. :D

Nice graphic assets. Quite a brain teaser, took me a little while to finish it. Congrats !

Feel free to stop by and test my game, we still need ratings : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/asimovs-breakout
