Hello,


Could you add the possible move of each piece (even the enemys) ** on the android version too 


Thank you i love it !

Sorry this is such an old project I don't even know if I have the source code anymore, so I can't really make changes now :S Glad you like it though!

Understood, yes I really like thanks 👍 

i swear to god if i see one more roguelike tagged as roguelite im buying winrar premium

To me "roguelite" just means similar in structure to rogue (permadeath) but not enough to be called a rogue-like (it's real time, it's not an RPG, the mechanics are very different, etc.). Not all roguelites have to be real-time or have meta progression, and not having those doesn't necessarily make the game a roguelike if it plays nothing like Rogue.

I'll defend my choice of tags! :D

I got 331

very fun!

imagine if there could be modes where you use the other pieces, would be fun

Thanks! I tried some, and honestly rook and queen are the only ones that work well enough. Knight could probably be balanced but it's hard.

fair nuff!

NICE !!!!!!!!!! love the concept. I am trying to improve my chess skills and these game somehow offers new perspectives.

Thanks! Not sure this is gonna help at all with actual chess but glad you enjoyed :P

Love the idea, but having the King and capturing it or even having it in check doing nothing confused me.

excellent man, it's fun to see how far you take cards/chess in all these games

(+1)

amazing!

cool game, i had fun :)
i would say not all the pieces are immediately recognizable.

You can't kill the king th

Awesome game, but tower and queen looks very similar

(+1)

Thanks! I changed the queen a bit, just for you :D

(+1)

make the queen a bit taller aswell maybe

(+1)

Hey, you took my advice about the pawns. Nice!

(+1)

Awesome! I love chess. This game is really cool to play. I love de sound, the graphics and the gameplay. Yet sometimes I confuse the Queen with a Tower.

(+1)

I like it. Simple and unexpected

(+1)

good game, it gets harder and harder the more mistakes you make

Pretty clever game, I like it. But a bit dull ATM, maybe add some color like red/blue pieces. And I would add some more sound effects, like chimes that go higher and higher for every capture, maybe a whiplash at gameover when your piece is captured. Other than that excellent little game.

Thanks for the feedback! I hope to have some of that in a full post-jam version soon :)

Very good. I just came back from a chess game over the board and this is really nice to play. Smooth sliding and good gameplay. One thing, can you make this available on mobile please? 

Soon(TM) probably. I'm seeing a lot of request so I'll definitely do it.

Any other features you think would be cool to add if I make a post-jam mobile version?

I think i would like it if the pawns worked as real pawns. You know, only farwards and promotion. My guess is that you had the pawns like that but decided it's better if they take to any diagonal direction. My opinion is that they should act like real pawns.

I ported the game as is for now, I'm probably gonna be adding a lot of stuff. You can grab the port here https://raindrinker.itch.io/rook-android?secret=vPRRPvT1PpVbSQEUK6x6sE8sL5k Shhh it's a secret

Your feedback has been quite useful so any feedback on the android port and ideas on what to add are super welcome :)

Looks like the game works normally on the phone. The only thing is the board is too small. I think you can fix that by making the game show in landscape mode rather than portrait.

this is a simple concept that works really well and it is really fun to play.  Nice job :) 

(+1)

Nice, works really well.

Such a cute game once again ! Love the music as well. Very chill. The mechanic itself is really clever.

Thanks a lot! :)

I do not like chess.

I really like this game.

Thanks for making it!

I'm not really big on chess either but its well-known mechanics are a good communication tool for games :)

Glad you liked it!
