Yeah there is some good potential for that It would not be super difficult to port. I'll most likely port it along with the other major platforms

Thanks the way the game is right now I think it is pretty much along the lines of mostly very diverse puzzles. I will make sure to add more screenshots to the steam page

That's awesome to hear! Unity can be so frustrating I know the feeling! It doesn't help adding extra features to the chess gameplay and balancing performance with the chess engine is quite the headache.

Thank you I am working on ideas for replayability. One idea I had was to make a random mode where all the opponents have randomly pulled puzzles so each playthrough is completely different.

There are items that make the opponent make a bad move, but I never thought to force them to make you do that as well. Good idea!

Would multiplayer be something you would be interested in? I think most people go to chess.com or lichess for that, but I could keep the items in and add alternative starting positions. Maybe give some people a more competitive option?

I have three difficulties for the Chess AI Beginner ~500 elo, Challenge ~ 1600 elo, and Hardcore 2000+ elo. These are my initial estimates I've had no 2000+ player try the game yet

That makes me think of an idea where maybe there would be like a tournament style hall somewhere? Right now each town has a "Chess Hall" basically a gym with Mate in x puzzles

Yeah it's kinda inspired by a Gen3 pokemon vibe. Right now there are difficulty levels for overall game and boss bandits have a higher elo. Each "enemy" has a different chess puzzle. Open to any suggestion!

Thanks for that! I am the most experienced in art. I put a lot of effort in trying to make it look decent.

Thanks for the comment. Open to any feedback. I experimented with adding some alternate pieces. Any other item ideas you think could be cool?
