Now I'm stuck in here with no way out and some scary Ancient Robot Overlord who wants to play a weird game of chess to assert is dominance.

Great job on the visuals for the game board. It's turned out very well with the simple textures against the black backdrop.
As for the gameplay I don't think I get the scoring and how/when minions are killed?
On level 3 the enemy minions at some point simply stopped moving and let me run all my minions to the edge and score points - I guess that's why there's still a skip level functionality :)
Can you share any more information about the game rules and maybe how the AI calculates its moves?
