cute. odd that black doesn't require a king to play ;-) certainly needs more cookie variety. after one playthru i didn't see anything worth purchasing anymore.
I really enjoyed this game, though I feel like it lacks a bit in difficulty. My first run, I was able to achieve a build that allowed me to beat every level in the first move, if I found one or two queens, kings, or rooks, by just upgrading their values indefinitely, but, I have to say, that was a quite satisfying experience. Would also love if the explanation on what the snacks do were a bit clearer, as I mostly just steered away from those I didn't understand the explanation of, sticking to those I can safely use in-game. And maybe also add an indication of why you get as many points as you get when killing a piece, maybe just showing a visual of every effect wich is processed then and there.
We’ve reached a new milestone: 1 million impressions. For me, this is something crazy it’s even hard to grasp and believe this number, achieved in just 4 days. I’m incredibly grateful to fate and to all of you who play my game, leave comments, and make this possible. It means a lot to me, and I’m insanely grateful, and I’m doing everything I can to make the game even better. Thank you all.
Yes, that’s 100% I have a lot of ideas on how to develop the game after the jam time passes. I hope to find a publisher so that all this goes more stably and to be more confident. But, in any case, we wil make it better. Thank you very much for your comment!
Thank you to everyone who played, left a comment, or rated the game. Seeing it featured and watching how people play already means the world to me. I’m looking for a publisher so I can bring it to Steam and keep building it with a small team. I want you to see the best version possible. I’ll keep giving it everything I have. Thank you for being here you’re the best!
Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to polish the game to perfection, and there are still a couple of bugs in it. I apologize for this, I will definitely fix them after the jam and make the game even better. And I plan to bring it to Steam, so... expect it. And thank you for your comment!
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.
I put a special function that if you are cornered and you cannot make a move in any way, then the script would automatically make a discard. Most likely you just had a situation where you were cornered and therefore could play only one card. But I am not sure, maybe this is a bug. I will try to fix everything after the end of the jam. Sorry for this and thank you for your comment!
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
Sorry, there really are still some bugs in the game that I would gladly fix, but right now I can’t, since I am participating in jam. After he passes, I will update the game and will try to save all possible bugs that I find. Thank you very much for the comments!
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
First of all, thank you very much for such a big comment. Sorry that I am replying to it only now. There is very little time. First of all, many thanks for your words. It is very pleasant for me to read this. I will definitely take your feedback into account, I will continue to work on the game and will fix all the bugs and make it much better. Thank you very much!
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!
I agree that I still need to work on the tutorial. I will continue to develop the game and will definitely upload it to Steam. Thank you very much for your comments, it is very pleasant for me!
I think it's a little unfair that my run died even after clearing the board. It makes the game seem RNG based if I have to get the right food to not die.
sorry for the current balance problems. I’m already addressing them: I’ll push fixes today, and tomorrow you’ll get a more polished version. Balancing is the hardest part for me, but I’m committed to improving it. Your feedback really helps—thank you!
I get "The developer has not uploaded a game yet..." error.

idk how to fix this error: Unable to parse Build/4.framework.js.br! This can happen if build compression was enabled but web server hosting the content was misconfigured to not serve the file with HTTP Response Header "Content-Encoding: br" present. Check browser Console and Devtools Network tab to debug.
wait can you only play it on the website right now or what it loaded the game on the website and i can play it but when i use the app and download it and play it gives the error i said before
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!

The game is incredibly buggy, I hope they'll polish it up soon as it seems like a rather fun game.
This is so freaking amazing. I never thought I'd see the day that Chess became a card game, but this rocks.
I don't understand why sometimes I win when I kill their king and sometimes I don't...
If it doesn't nave Turkish language I can gladly help you with it.
I still do not understand the game mechanics.
I will recommend you to read a tutorial:)
Is the money sound the same one from balatro?
I am not sure, but I don’t think so
Nah dude it's the exact same
It's the same
very good game ! On the other hand, the black pawns are quite difficult to see.
Thank you very much for your comment; I will definitely take this feedback into account and make the pieces a bit brighter!
Great game! I’m sure you’ve already got plenty of ideas on how to expand it.

Did you make the assets? they're very cool
Yes, I am;)
good job, i hope you'll keep upating this game bc is one of the coolest chess games i ever played besides the actual chess game ;))))
haha, thank you so much)
I have beaten the game for the first time. Here are the results:
Nice game btw :)
Congratulation man!!! Good job and thank you so much!

Why can the pieces just kill me in their turn when I'm at full health :(
Great game tho

To be honest, I think so too. I will try to fix this bug after the jam. Thank you very much!
I keep losing lives even when I end with no !! on me, can the pieces move twice?

почему у меня тупо не грузит игра?
Не знаю друг, я только, что попробовал запустить игру с 7 моих девайсов, нигде проблемы не обнаружил, скорее всего проблема на твоей стороне
Real interesting, very nicely done and fun!

I would love to see a download version if possible.
Sorry, I am participating in a jam and at the moment I cannot upload new files or delete old ones, so it won’t work. Sorry, please

I love it sm <3
Ooo, thank you so much! That’s the reason I’m making games — to make people feel better)
"balatro balatro", it's like they dont know any other game 💀💀💀
okay nevermind yours have hella balatro vibes LOL
thank you, I guess
I think it's a little unfair that my run died even after clearing the board. It makes the game seem RNG based if I have to get the right food to not die.

I’m not sure why you’re calling it “just Balatro.” Balatro = poker; mine = chess. Different mechanics and gameplay—only the overall loop overlaps.

imma try downloading it on the website
I fixed
wait can you only play it on the website right now or what it loaded the game on the website and i can play it but when i use the app and download it and play it gives the error i said before
oh wait the website game thing is gone?
ok it works now (website) and i have reloaded it and it does work
great, thank you for waiting

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!
wait I don't get how to play
NVM figured it out now I'm so stupid
haha, okay, enjoy your game!
Oh my god this is so good!
The game shows up to big in the window, so I can't start the game
There were issues with the game. I’ll resend the message so you can try again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Ok.
become better now
