This game is definitely not for me, (i am neither good at strategy nor chess) but there were some things I can comment on:

  • Custom art and tone was engaging and held tone well.
  • Presentation is very muddy: while assets alone are fine, all together the game seems very hard to parse: backdrop is too detailed and distracting, while pieces blend in. It's also hard to tell when pieces are done for the turn or not (yes, there is a signal but something that pops out more would help). 
  • I might not have payed enough attention during the brief tutorial, but I feel like things weren't explained enough. Tutorials are difficult, but a more detailed one (on player demand at least) would have been very helpful. 
  • Again, this might be me, but I felt like the concepts got mixed in weird ways: chess concept? sure. Then rpg maker style combat skills? Er, ok...what happened to chess? In general I think better onboarding is necessary.

I spoke more during the vid, but overall the main problem for me was conveyance. 

an amusing little game, but i thought that the visual style was really hard to read. the low contrast grayscale was hard to look at

Sorry to hear the grayscale ended up being difficult to read! In future projects I'll try to have a higher contrast! Thank you so much for the feedback!
