This could be the start of a really cool chess-based strategy game!\n\nAs the others, I'm not sure about the game being real-time. However, that's not my main complaint, but the fact that pieces can break others just by passing by their side. I think pieces should only destroy others if they actually fall in the corresponding square. The game sometimes feels kind of random because of that (for example, I was trying a strategy and suddenly a bishop in the black squares killed my king in a white square).\n\nGood job with the music and the graphics too!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"schizoid2k","author_uid":"1000288","time":"2017-12-06T01:45:46Z","epoch":1512524746,"modified":1512524746,"text":"It's harder than it seems, and that's pretty cool... it really makes you think ahead and quickly.

The some small mistakes on execution: I didn't like the drag control, it fails in crucial moves. A click control would be a better choice. The music, graphics and animation are simple, but very effective in set the mood! Initially, I dislike the friendly fire, but it was only a matter of mastering the controls, and fits well with the theme. Overall: A great entry for compo!\n\nSuggestion: Don't restart the music loop when the player lose. On my firsts tries, I died a lot at first level, so the loop restarts very frequently.\n\nMy record was 85 points after keep playing for almost a hour.","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld40\/53265-53dd4db89312aed7a01cc2a9b9dce5d7.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/chaosinism.github.io\/LudumDare40\/","text":"HTML5 (web)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"43928","g_author":"1010066","g_event":"LD40","g_eventkey":"70","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"226442","g_title":"Knights and Kings","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"470","g_commentcount":"15","g_site2_node_id":"53265","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"53265","n_urlkey":"226442","n_parent":"49883","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/40\/knights-and-kings","n_slug":"knights-and-kings","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"compo","n_author":"10066","n_created":"1511625585","n_modified":"1512348430","n_version":"172826","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":53265,"parent":49883,"superparent":9,"author":10066,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"compo","published":"2017-12-04T00:46:43Z","created":"2017-11-25T15:59:45Z","modified":"2017-12-04T00:47:10Z","version":172826,"slug":"knights-and-kings","name":"Knights and Kings","body":"Your kingdom is being invaded by the dark army!
