Interesting concept, the idea of playing "chess" or something with the death is very interesting it is a powerful image.
The music is kind of fun as well some sort of creepy waltz jeje :)
I have 1 question though: - Why do my pieces disappear when I click on them once they are a bit further in the map? Is it normal? (Sorry if the question is naïve)
Great entry, thanks for creating this game :)
@muriel I'm glad you liked the game! The pieces disappearing is actually a bug, and I made a new build to fix that now. Thanks for pointing that out!
While the game is very simple and it is easy to understand, the presentation makes it more interesting. The presentation is a bit too close to Inscription to my liking but I think it is different enough to be called its own game.
I got stuck multiple times with my pieces disappearing so I hope you can fix that soon!
@nash Thanks for pointing out that disappearing bug! I think I tracked it down and am uploading a fix now.
I really liked the setting and the music! I hope this game continues to develop!!! ;))
Love it. Simple, compelling, familiar without being derivative, fun. Well done!
Interesting concept! I like using the classic idea of playing chess with death in a different way, using familliar strategies but in a new way, fun!
Good work!
Little fun chess game to play with! Love the concept and music
Pawns but wrong answers only.
I love it. Great use of a chess board.
Beautiful. The board, the pieces, it all looked very tactile. The mechanics are straight forward, and work great. The biggest problem with the game, as with so many with this theme, is that it's just a "hold on until you lose" game. So I play for a bit, until I stop trying and lose to see what the end screen is. Great submission, just a shame about the theme.
I like the strategy elements and trying to find what patterns work best against the waves. The music and art both convey a very dark tone, just beautiful. Very well done, high marks in every category!
I like the unique take on the theme. The graphics look great and the music is nice. The gameplay can be a little bit repetitive, but it's still a really neat concept and the mood is very well done.

Nice idea for the theme! The mechanics are simple, and the game is a bit short, but I enjoyed playing. The mood was well set with the music too. Overall a solid game!
