It's definitely a lot to take in at first -- if you do go ahead with the post-compo version, it would be great to have a mode that introduces the various attacks bit by bit.

I'm still not sure what are the rules for which piece &quot;lives&quot; when it's moved.\r<br\/>The art style is incredible, and the audio is competent. It's addicting too, maybe you could only make it a little harder. Overall, it looks and feels like a finished game, excellent job! :)"},{"author_name":"impossibleleaf","author_uid":"52369","time":"May 9, 2015 @ 9:28am","epoch":1431163380,"text":"It was pretty fun, definitely a game I could be absorbed into."},{"author_name":"Smirnov48","author_uid":"11028","time":"May 9, 2015 @ 9:48am","epoch":1431164580,"text":"Nice game.
