I played a few times until 1200+ score but I do not get everything. I do not understand why black can sometimes play more than one move and why sometimes I can play only one card.

jam thumbprint cookie carries, i tell ya. Each win definitely gives you waaay too much money. Short and sweet game either way tho, got something really nice here

I keep losing lives even when I end with no !! on me, can the pieces move twice?

Real interesting, very nicely done and fun!

Will say that unless it's full screen it's a little difficult to see what pieces are what on the black space, could maybe make the pieces a little brighter, or you could have a little text box come up when hovering over the pieces that says what they are and how many points the piece gives you for taking it since you can upgrade that in the shop

Having cleared a board and still losing is a little sad, could maybe have like a "last piece standing" bonus points thing? Not 100% necessary I don't think as you shouldn't really have it happen unless you blunder/haven't bought the right items

I also got a build going a few times that straight up carries lmao, managed to do all of Ante 3, Ante 4, and all but the last one of Ante 5 in one turn, which I think might have been a little easier to get due to how few artifacts there are atm, which I imagine will change as you develop the game more

I don't really have anything negative to say I guess, great game! I look forward to the following updates

EDIT: Bug found, I pressed to play again and it kept all my artifacts from the previous run

I would love to see a download version if possible.

I really love this game! I love chess and roguelikes and this is a great blend of the two. That being said at the start I was incredibly confused, if you ever plan to take this game further I would recommend an interactive tutorial. Even after beating the game I am still confused on the point values of each piece. That being said once I understood it It was fun!

Took a minute to figure out how to play. I'd say even after kinda understanding it's still unclear how to actually play. I think I'd be more invested if this played like a actual chess game but with the balaltro twist. I'd play the shit outta that game. Especially with a multiplayer mode! You should continue working on this!

You came up with something cool! I like the mix of balatro and chess. Took me a second to figure it out but after I did, it was a lot of fun!

Oh my god this is so good!
