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. I believe you were updating the game with Brotli compression enabled, then the game got broken?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!

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

Ooo, thank you so much! That’s the reason I’m making games — to make people feel better)

I’m not sure why you’re calling it “just Balatro.” Balatro = poker; mine = chess. Different mechanics and gameplay—only the overall loop overlaps.
what even is this comment? there's clear innovation here. calling this "just balatro" undermines the work put into the game

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
