Chess Tower Defence by Harry Jacobs

[raw]
made by Harry Jacobs for LD 41 (JAM)

This is my 3rd Ludum Dare and yet again I've had too much other stuff going on over the weekend. As I had a camping trip on Saturday and Sunday I wasn't actually planning on participating but I had an idea just before bed on Sunday and started laying down some ideas.

It's been a very stressful and tiring Monday but I've ended up with something that just about works :D

The game is a Tower Defence game but on a chess board. Unlock and place chess pieces to tackle the oncoming hoards!

Hope you enjoy it :)

Made with Unity3D, Blender, Paint.NET

-- Due to lack of time it's very poorly balanced and is probably a bit unfair. There are a few big bugs I'm aware of too.

Areas which need lots of improvement:

-General balancing of the game

-Audio

Some features I want to add:

-Pictures in the shop

-Upgrades

The idea is nice and the execution works. Here are a couple of ideas suggestions:
* Is there a reason why a rook costs only 5 pts (2.5 pawns) while a bishop costs 75? I guess there is the amount of dmg a figure does to be taken into account, but having a bishops cost as much as 15 rooks seems a bit excessive (not that they are to expensive, the rooks are just dirt cheap).
* Some tooltip to see dmg/health would have been nice.
* its great to have the speed feature, but it makes the sounds a bit annoying.
