This is hilarious! And mind breaking.

Not gonna lie, I didn't have any idea what was going on most the time :p Some delay / animation for moves would've been really nice!

Awesome job though :D

"partially by looking at a ceiling for hours." LOL

@Darkfrost: yes, move animations was one of the features that just didn't make the cut. But this will for sure be implemented in the post-miniLD version. Honestly, I was happy the AI was moving at all at the end.

This seems brilliant. I didn't know what was going on, because I have minimum knowledge of chess. Even in 3 dimensions.

I think it's totally brilliant. Makes you think about defending your position from all sides this time! First time I played, the AI's queen wraped around the board and killed me from behind. >_<

Jeez, I suck at chess and I suck three times more at it with this many dimensions!

superjoe 2013-07-31 05:20

@DogShitEmpire - you sure you don't suck 3 powers as much? (n^3) :P

dogshitempire 2013-07-31 22:43

@superjoe: Hey, hold on! That somehow sounds like you're making fun of me! But yeah, I guess my comment is not entirely accurate, since it implies that regular chess is only one dimensional. :)

This is really cool - it'd be nice if I could select enemy pieces to see what their valid moves are.

srd 2013-08-01 10:52

Nice, but not critical - I felt happy :)

Takes chess to a point where it's actually fun to play. I like how the "board" feels small and clear. I don't know much about chess, but I really like this. Well done!

An innovative and very good idea.. although it doesn't fit the theme of a REAL TIME strategy game. Other than that, it would take a very long time to master, and it is very awkward trying to play it the first few times. The AI is also a bit too good, in my opinion.
