Oh dear, this is a bit embarrassing. Our programmer discovered that after packaging, some content that should have been translated into English wasn’t successfully translated. The corresponding entries do exist in the localization list, but they just weren’t successfully loaded. We’re currently fixing it.
非常好的策略游戏，既有传统战棋类的核心体验又有现代化的机制。观察各种攻击范围，制造优势甚至白嫖很爽。但是当我需要选择新的棋子，我不太清楚它们的攻击范围等具体信息，这造成了一些困扰，但总的来说，非常天才的想法！
@moonblast 谢谢你的喜欢，你说的没错，时间原因没有把这些做好，未来我完善它的时候会注意把攻击范围之类的信息明确的表达出来~！ 你的参赛作品UI太酷了！！！ 我也是玩粥的。还有bro你主页的B站链接好像挂了oxO
@yuriscat 哦哦好久没参加LD了 才发现挂了
Really strong entry, well polished! The art style is beautiful, and the chill music adds a great atmosphere. The animations were smooth and satisfying. The mechanics were enjoyable too, though I struggled a bit to grasp all the movements. Overall, a solid piece of work. Keep it up!
@anderson-job-loeffler(Thank you for your feedback! I’ll add more detailed tutorials in the non-jam version in the future to make it easier to understand!
The artistic style is simply amazing!
Good job! That is indeed a brilliant concept!
I think I beat it? After beating the third king, I have been sent back to the main menu. Even with some translation missing, this game makes a lot of sense. I enjoyed setting up for fights, although it took a couple tries to understand what the units do - I can't read the description or see what they do without using them first, which is a shame. Still no idea what the cannon does.
Thanks for posting your game!
Wow, a pretty complex game you've made! The graphics and game logic are solid!
@sypiac Thank you for playing and for your feedback! Yes, that should be the ending. The way the mortar attacks is that it needs to have a piece in front of it in order to deal damage to the piece behind. I think we should add more visual guides (like using pictures instead of text descriptions) in the future non-jam version. Thanks again for your feedback!
@crowelian Thank you! I did put a lot of thought into it, and I also created a lot of content, which put quite a bit of pressure on the programming, haha. In the end, we had to cut a lot of things. Thank you for playing and for your feedback!
@shelter132 Thank you <3 I really love the art of your game ww
@shelter132 Thank you for playing and for your feedback. The art in your game is also amazing, especially with so many character illustrations. I imagine the workload must have been enormous!
好萌！！！
@liumeishan 老师您们的作品也好萌！！喜欢可可爱爱冰淇淋球儿wwww！！
Great visuals! The characters are so cute.
I liked the chess themed fight. This game has a very potential. Very interesting choice
Amazing art style and interesting concept
Personally I don’t know how to play chess, but even I figured out how to play this game. That’s really cool! I also liked the flag buff mechanic.
как можно так хорошо сделать игру имея лишь 3 дня
It's pretty cool game! It's interesting that you move all the pieces at once. Game feel is really good also!
I'm in love with this art style
有一点取巧的成分在里面，但是collector做个战棋出来好像也确实是合理的，鲜有人选但是很好的选题。
主要问题：开头一上来就让选还以为是buff原来全是debuff~~叽里咕噜说什么玩意呢和我的大运说去吧最后拿Rock给对面无脑风筝死了~~；消耗数其实取正数看着顺眼一点（消耗是正的然后王取负数或者直接写提供点数）；pick新子只有拿到才知道这玩意干嘛的；如前面的评论所述的典型翻译不完全和中文版式问题（如下图）。
另外不是很熟godot，`steam_api64.dll`这个必需文件是干啥的~~而且在你们v0.6的包里面忘记封这玩意了导致我还是从v0.5的包里面CV了一个过来~~。

总体来说完成度蛮高的，祝好名次！
@elmalach Thank you! I also plan to continue working on it after the jam ends and make it even richer in the future!
@ksennia Thank you UwU! The cardboard style of your game is also amazing! I love the character designs in your game!
What an awesome twist! I remember the joy of playing 'shotgun king' on here - and this captures much of that same magic. An ancient game given an innovative twist that opens up the space to a much more video-game-friendly progression. Fantastic art, great music (but thank you for being honest about the timeline) and wonderful game design. Great work!
@akuta-zehy 事实上最早是想收集旗帜，并且棋子们是有物品可以装备上去的，我画了10个旗帜和20多个物品但是程序员来不及做了哈哈哈（也是我的问题，我太贪心了导致我想的很大，最后来不及做了） 拿到了才知道有什么问题这个确实，也是时间问题，我会在后续版本把它修复的，这个影响太大了（按道理它们应该显示在右边的框里才对，因为它们用的同一套棋子组件，可能是因为bug？） steam_api64.dll这个必需文件是因为我们前面跑过一个完成LD最后上steam的游戏，路径依赖所以我们想直接用steam的插件来做游戏这样最后直接可以用steam来给其他成员测试（虽然后面忙的焦头烂额也没弄了XD），结果我们导出网页版的时候发现steam的插件在导出H5页面的时候会出BUG就给删了，我去还好你提醒我！现在我去把这个东西加上！ 我重新在留言板发东西了，如果您看不到的话我就直接发在这里啦！
@skale Thank you! I also love your game, and the sound of the snowball rolling on the snow is so relaxing (it's a pity I couldn't add sound effects this time, the time was too tight T.T).
@ynnon I should add more chess-related information on the right side! I will improve it in the future! Thank you for liking it. I also tried out your game, and I think the amount of work you put into it is tremendous! It's also very rich in content!
@roberttory На самом деле это лишь 30% от моего плана. Я сделал систему экипировки и ещё больше флагов, я даже уже дорисовал их, но программист не успел всё реализовать (это и моя вина — я был слишком жадным/амбициозным). Ты можешь увидеть больше флагов и экипировки на изображениях в описании. Спасибо за твою поддержку! In fact, this is only 30% of what I planned. I made an equipment system and more flags, and I even finished drawing them, but the programmer didn’t have time to implement them (which is also my fault, I was too ambitious). You can see more flags and equipment in the images in the description. Thank you for liking it!
@wolderado Yes, since the pieces need to dodge ranged attacks from the enemy, I ultimately decided to make them move together. This way, I don't have to worry about allied pieces being more vulnerable to enemy attacks as their numbers increase and not having enough turns to dodge. Thank you for liking it! I also played your game, and it's truly impressive to create such a rich game in such a short amount of time. I really love the pixel-style 3D models!
@ugly-robot Thank you for liking it! Actually, I also wanted to pay tribute to the King of Shotguns—in the original design, I planned to include a Black King wielding a shotgun as the final boss, but I ran out of time, haha. Thank you again for all your kind words! It makes me so happy!
很有趣的玩法，拖家带口打阵地战的感觉，能够显示预测伤害很有帮助，要是能再显示预计对敌造成的伤害就更好了，目前感觉惩罚性的选项更多，希望能有更多奖励加成类的功能（可能是打算做在旗子里？）。加油！
@nekowei 嗯嗯，未来打算补全给棋子添加装备的功能（设计好了但是没做完orz，时间确实很紧），也祝您聚光灯比赛顺利！加油！
Really cool chess minigame, it gets a bit overwhelming at the end with so many pieces, and the restriction of moving all your pieces together makes it a bit complicated to plan ahead, but fun to play nonetheless !
The audio cut out super early for me and i couldn't enjoy it too much
The game in itself is perfect, although I'm not completely sure how it fits the theme. Very nice job tho
Impressive work. An extremely complex game.
I kinda just went for full ranged start after witch the game felt too easy. The system is intresting but it feels like its not a startegy game or puzzle game and falls akwardly between them. I think it would be more fun if it went into a more either direction (startegy maybe). Since losing pieces is super punish just going ranged was way to go, would be more fun if the front line was cheap and expendable so i could maybe move more into enemies.
The game gives decent feedback so i kinda understood whats happening and thats important in more complex jam game like this, ofc its a endless road to make it more understandable but i think you got it nicely decent for the duration.
Hey the game is really enjoyable, it feels polished and is really stylish ! I lost at the last phase unfortunately 😢. There isn't much to say on it because it was really well done and complete, maybe the collection part is a bit low so the theme feels a bit off but its still really cool
Chess 2 is great! I really liked the game!
I would be glad if you could play our game.
I was a little overwhelmed at first - but I got the hang of that at the end. I really suck at chess, but ranged combat seem to worked well for me.
Wish the screen was a bit less busy, and for some audio, but the art is very good and the idea is unique. Well done!
yuriscat has so many ideas, but i just cant bring them all to life
keep focus late at night is really challenging, we kept working until the last few minutes before the deadline and barely made the submission with so many bugs
好可爱的风格！！希望有更多achievement反馈！！！
@nomus Oh my gosh, thank you for letting me know! The background music is supposed to loop! It must have been during that update when we were fixing bugs that we accidentally made the background music play only once... We'll upload a fixed version! Thank you for your feedback! Also, I checked out the artwork on your profile, and it's absolutely stunning (it reminded me of Heroes of the Storm) ww. I'll definitely try out your game later!!
@lastuck Thank you for your compliment! Yes, it might sound a bit far-fetched, but currently, we only have the parts where you collect chess pieces to form a team and collect flags to increase difficulty. We originally planned a bigger system for collecting equipment, but unfortunately, we didn’t have time to finish it T.T
@einfach 谢谢喜欢ww后续会在非jam版本添加反馈
@prunus-padis Yes, you’re absolutely right. In the subsequent non-jam version, I plan to improve the balance by adding equipment—for example, some enemies equipped with special armor will be immune to the player’s ranged attacks. Our initial strategy was to use melee soldiers to block enemy ranged fire while using ranged units for offense, but perhaps this aspect wasn’t well conveyed. We will take your feedback and suggestions to make this game even better UwU.```
@celian Thank you for your feedback! There were some things we couldn’t finish in time, otherwise, it would have been closer to the theme. I’ll make sure to complete them in the future non-jam version. Maybe next time I won’t be so ambitious and aim for something smaller to present a more complete experience. Thank you for playing! I played your game, and I think your art filters and music are amazing!```
@pado Thank you, got it! I’ve already played the game created by your team members! I will also contact my team members to play your game!```
@atsh You’re absolutely right, our UI and audio were a bit rushed. I will optimize the UI and add sound effects in the future non-JAM version. Thank you for your feedback and recognition, haha!```
@yuriscat thank you for the kind words ! And have fun playing our game :heart:
@leo-miracles Thank you for your feedback! I also played your game and completed it! I love your art style, haha, it also looks very intricate!!
Really great graphic style and idea. chess needs an update for a long time :D
Very interesting concept for a game, and the art looks amazing!
我玩的是web版的，刚刚发现还有这个问题Snipaste_2025-10-09_19-11-39.png好像是显示不太完全。玩下来感觉游戏底子不错，相当有策略性，如果继续更新改进下去再加上点别的系统会是个不错的肉鸽游戏，目前就我玩的这个版本而言，远程单位未免有点过于强力了，经常很容易凑出速杀敌方旗手的队伍，近战单位明显弱势，经常处于我打不到别人、别人不仅打的到我还可能直接能秒了我的尴尬情况（远程敌人强势在敌人强度上也有相同问题）或许可以分波次放出敌人和放置己方棋子应该能是一个比较适合的改动，非常期待后续玩法更新！ 美术上个人感觉已经相当成熟了，非常的好。音乐音效上个人感觉目前游戏的这个音乐可能不太适合，另外玩的web版也有音乐只播放了一次就停了的问题存在。 还有个较大的问题可能存在，个人感觉可能游戏里的要素与这次gamejam主题相关度不是很高……
好玩！！玩得很开心，画得超级萌，玩法也很有趣！一开始还想着国际象棋我会不会玩不明白，上手发现不仅玩懂了还很有趣，做了双语也大好评，爱
I love this game, I can totally see this working as the basis for a fully-fledged game beyond LD. Is it intended that all the pieces move together? I can see that when you move the standard bearer all the others move but it seems strange that when you move the bishops for example that everything moves diagonally with them.
its really cool game concept. It's like the development of the idea of a king with a shotgun.
Music and Art are truly amazing! Gameplay is too big brained for me hahaha, i appreciate it tho!
Very good!
非常可爱的美术风格，很喜欢拖动棋子时候的晃动。玩法也挺有趣的，下棋的主题很契合，要是可以收集敌人的棋子就更好了。另外有时候感觉敌人的攻击范围不是很清晰呢，或许可以和我方的颜色做个区分？
Really enjoyed the artstyle of this game and the music. The gameplay is also made in an intersting way, but I would personally also add some things that buff the player too, not only the enemies
Wow, it's a great game! I loved this game even though I was so bad at playing xD. Great job!
@dm1tr11 Haha, thank you! I'll update more chess pieces in the non-jam version in the future. Your skeleton head art is really awesome, haha.
@basmet Thank you ❤
@umc049 哎呦，谢谢你的提醒！我们现在已经上传了一个新版本，相关问题已经修复。也非常感谢你对游戏底子的认可。我打算把它再好好捯饬一下，加入一些新机制和内容，把它更新成一个更完整的游戏。
关于远程单位的平衡问题，我在考虑通过降低它们的生命值或攻击力来削弱，或者在后续通过机制设计来平衡。分波次放置的想法确实不错，我之前还真没想到，我已经把它记到小本本上了。玩家这边做分波次相对容易一些，因为玩家可以手动控制进场时间；但敌人这边我一时还没想好怎么分波次。也许可以在敌人将要出现的格子上加一个预警倒计时作为提示。
音乐方面，目前应该已经修复了“音乐播放完就停”的问题。至于你提到的主题契合度，确实有点勉强。现在的版本只有收集旗子和旗帜的内容，原本还打算做道具收集，但因为时间关系没来得及。这一版其实是滑跪抢救的版本哈哈，所以正式版里我们会做很多改动和完善。
@anima-animus049 谢谢您的喜欢！因为文本量比较大所以觉得得来个中文版的不然中文玩家玩起来会困难ww感谢您的体验，您游戏里的角色也画得很棒w
@void4 Yes, when you move the standard bearer, all the pieces move together. When you move other pieces, you can move in the way of those specific pieces—you’ll need to use this method to avoid the combat zones blocked by the enemy's castle and bishops! And yes, we’re planning to complete and release a full version! Stay tuned! Thank you for playing!
@yatsu Yes, one of our inspirations is indeed "Shotgun King." Unfortunately, we didn’t have enough time, but we actually had the idea of adding an Easter egg to pay tribute to it. Thank you for playing and commenting!
@gonulgaye Thank you for your feedback!
@andreadbx Thank you, I have to say the art in your game is amazing too! I really like the cohesive and minimalist low-poly 3D art style, just like how I love pixel art! Maybe later I can add a tutorial to my game! I mean, in the official version.
@rol 您说的很对，之后得想个办法区分一下敌我双方的攻击范围颜色，现在这样确实有点误导喵。那个晃动我们做了挺久（
@alex-o You’re absolutely right. In the future official version, we plan to add an equipment system where both players and enemies can obtain items to equip or unequip at the end of each round. This is something we didn’t have time to implement this time. Thank you for your feedback!
@joaog Thank you for your feedback! You’ve participated in so many LD events, that’s amazing!
I fell in love with your pixel art <3
I like how the game looks and general idea of a battle game in a Chess Board.
Although it wasn't very clear to me that I only can move my whole army, and can't move singular pieces separately, despite the enemy being able to. There is definitely work to be done, if you want to develop this game further, on UI and tooltips to better explain the mechanics.
Overall, well done :heart:
Great entry! I wasn't entirely sure what I was doing at first, so I placed my pieces a bit at random... Turned out to be a wining strategy as I kept the same pattern to reach the end! ^^ The one thing I am not sure is if our pieces always attack first or if the "speed" statistic of the enemies matter.
Nonetheless, a great entry, I had a lot of fun with it, congrats!
This was one of my favorite games so far!! I was a little confused about how to make turns happen (clearer instructions might be helpful...or the option to skip movement and execute a turn), but I really enjoyed having to decide what pieces to collect for my team--and the consequences of what pieces the opponent would get.
Could've used a tutorial or instructions in-game, but the game was simple enough to be figured out by brute force. Graphics were nicely done, but the font looked a bit weird as it probably wasn't meant to be this small.
@haayaargh Yes, I will provide a more comprehensive tutorial and text guidance in the future. Thank you for your suggestion, and I appreciate your feedback ❤️
@dumchevdev Awwwwww, thank you! I will draw more pictures of the protagonist.<3
@linky439 Haha, maybe you're subconsciously a master of strategy games. The friendly army always attacks first, and the enemy's speed only affects how many turns it takes for them to move. I'm so glad you enjoyed the game and played it to the end. Thank you for your feedback ww
@caer Thank you for giving us such high praise. I’m honored that you had such an enjoyable experience with the game’s content. At the start of each turn, all of our pieces will attack first, followed by all enemy units capable of attacking our side. This cycle repeats until either the opponent’s leader or our leader dies. Yes, we definitely need to add more tutorials. You’re absolutely right, this time the schedule was a bit tight. If we participate in the next event, I’ll allocate more time to creating game tutorials. Additionally, in the future official version, I’ll make sure to write more comprehensive tutorials. Thank you again for playing and for your feedback.
@6knowledge Yes, you’re absolutely right. The time was just too tight, and I didn’t want to add tutorial content to the game after the submission deadline. But you’re absolutely correct that a tutorial would have been ideal, and I’ll take your suggestion into account. In the future official version, I’ll include a tutorial. I apologize for your experience with the font; I found that this was because the Godot game component on Ludum Dare doesn’t support fullscreen. Without fullscreen, the font appears a bit small. If I participate in LD again, I’ll try to upload a version that supports fullscreen on itch or other platforms. Thank you for your feedback.
Really impressive and well executed, good job! A game too ambitious, yeah, I know this classical error too :smile: But your game is a success anyway, congrats! :wink:
this is great! really nice art. music is good, but some sound effects would be nice :) the gameplay is really interesting, ive seen lots of chess-inspired strategy games but none that have you moving all the pieces together. while it's a bit confusing at first, having different pieces let you move everyone in different ways adds a really interesting level of strategy that i havent seen explored in other games. the game seems well balanced, too! at least in the time i was playing, i only barely landed a win using some tricky positioning and ranged pieces. the banners felt a bit arbitrary, especially since you're forced to take all of them by the end anyway, but i like the idea of them. really nice work!
Love the amount of polish on this game! The effects, music, and visuals really come together well!
Amazing work! It’s super interesting and has a vert unique way to paraphrase the theme, good job! And welcome to give our game a try! :)
