Nicely done. Art and sound/music are fantastic.

cronobreak 2020-04-21 02:28

Rad style!

I love this game! It's small, but tightly made. The gameplay and art feel so polished and its great. Also, I really love the Royal Dog

franciszeknowotniak 2020-04-21 03:04

Smal but addictive. Ai got pretty dumb soemtimes tho :P

watdowtal 2020-04-21 03:34

I'm really bad at it but it's pretty fun!

Very nice small tactical game. Feeling like go, because you need take control upon ground. But I was little upset when after my move in controversial situation like Enemy-My-Enemy-My my pawn died first.

Oops.png

Oops, I think I broke your game. It's opponents turn but it can't move to any space, and I can't do anything either

EDIT: Same thing happened when only my king was left and he had nowhere to move.

Really interesting strategy game! Are you going to continue development? Maybe make it 2-player?

When you make a move that traps both your moved piece and an opponent's piece, how does it prioritise which gets killed?

wow

arzi 2020-04-21 13:15

Wow! This was impressive. A simple game, but very well executed! Super hard though :sweat_smile: Nice work with the instruction images too, adds to the polished feel!

bwalter 2020-04-21 13:33

thanks everyone!

@lamossus thanks for the bug report! looks like i incorrectly set up that endgame situation. ill patch it later today!

@fazz we may continue dev! i'm not sure yet. to your other point: a piece always checks if it dies every frame. since the piece was moved into a trap, it is active and checks for death first, killing it rather than the enemy in that scenario

2020-04-21 15:19

if it will be left just one enemy we can win too :D

Excellent entry! Really nice art and music as well as a nice twist on Tafl!

cobear25 2020-04-21 16:11

Awesome submission, really cool game and the aesthetic is great. I think an easier intro level or two would go a long way.

effarek 2020-04-21 16:13

Nice version of the Tablut board game, the art is great ! Were you inspired by Mount & Blade 2 ?

kevin-meissner 2020-04-21 16:17

Really enjoy the game. Such a nice strategy game.

historymaker118 2020-04-21 16:23

Excellent game, and I recognise exactly which board game this is based on, though I did notice you tweaked a few rules to make it harder for the king piece (normally in tafl games you have to surround the king on all sides, not just two to lose). Great visual design, and a nice soundtrack. Going to add this to my favourites list and play against the computer when I can't get anyone to play me irl.

zollmaniac 2020-04-21 16:24

Nice entry! I like the Art style and simplicity of the controls mirrored against the complexity of the strategy. I hate going first haha.

darksylvok1 2020-04-21 16:43

I spent two minutes not understanding anything, but when you see the mechanic, it is wonderful. Thanks, great job with this little game

death-is-cold 2020-04-21 16:52

Music is great art is great, gameplay is challenging but fun, great stuff guys.

sawtan 2020-04-21 17:03

This really came out great! I love the mechanics of the game and the graphics and sound is polished and nice! I can see this one getting a really good run for the #1! Great job! Cheerz!

leonardo-fraga 2020-04-21 18:53

Funny game. Once I understood the mechanics, I had a good time killing everyone :smile: It's very pretty, polished. Nice job!

gal-afik 2020-04-21 18:58

I really like the concept and the art style is phenomenal. I would recommend a mode or option to play the game from a top-down perspective. The mood is excellent.

emre-tahtali 2020-04-21 21:35

dude you should make this game multiplayer!

saucygames 2020-04-22 07:17

This is really fun! It's a little hard to click some characters. Once I realized I had to click the base of the character made sense, but clicking behind an NPC was hard

43sam 2020-04-22 14:42

Really cool game and I love the art style! Everything else is super well designed as well. Definitely one of the best I've played

zzox 2020-04-23 13:14

This is really cool, I haven't played a game like this before, I like new approaches to puzzles!

h4kcr0o 2020-04-27 09:27

Really awesome !!

hellequinne 2020-05-01 08:22

Excellent game jam. Elegant board game-style mechanic; beautiful art and music. Well done!

zennith 2020-05-04 12:50

This is a really cool game! Took me a few turns to get it down just right but it was pretty smooth slaying otherwise. I love pretty much everything about the game; The music, art, and game play are all fantastic. Great job, keep up the amazing work!!

arowx 2020-05-05 14:00

Great work. Only niggle the white outlines in low res pixel art, could you just make the background/floor tiles duller and the enemies a bit brighter?

Or just have the outlines when a player mouse overs and selects a pawn.

Really enjoyed this entry! Great work!
