Very cute art & animations. But unfortunately there is a reason that is all they show in the trailer and screenshots. Buggy gameplay, little to no polish in the UI (lots of off-centered text, stretched icons, buggy text input, etc.). Yarn and laser pointer are only client side when online which is lame. Also they are already selling skins. I was quite disappointed.

it is cat chess! i love the animations of all the sweet cats. all just cute alright. i will say it does need some work. it honestly feels more like an early access game, more than a finished game. i will still recommend and i did find a bug during the campaign: when on the promote pawn screen, i paused the game and left. the promote pawn screen will stayed up. a new game was started, and the promote screen was still there and would not let me proceed until a promotion was chosen. the chosen piece, a knight, spawned into the opposing knight space, clipping into the white knight. the rook next to it captured it, and now was inside of the white knight piece. i do not know if this is global or just the campaign

They managed to keep true to chess and make it unique, instead of just some dumb gimmick. So, good game.

It's fun but these false stalemates given when I still have a plethora of legal moves left is very irritating.
