ChessRogue

A bit barebones, but still enjoyable. If the dev ever tries to flesh this concept out I think it has the potential to be amazing.

Cheap, simple, fun. Don't expect countless hours of high fidelity gameplay the game is as simple as the premise, worth checking out if you enjoy chess and chess puzzles though. Black mode (your figures are placed randomly) is great fun already, but the white mode is too much of a pain to deal with, I suggest to the dev two changes: - Placement of figures should saved across the levels so you don't have to place them one by one every time. - Allow me to click the figure i want to choose rather than force me to press the keyboard button responsible for each figure. Otherwise the game could do with some price balancing but is an otherwise great proof of concept.

Fun game I’m still getting the hang of. The developer appears pretty active in terms of working on updates and gauging community interest.

beat my hi-score.

Great game for small price. Just why there is no new update for 1 year now. At least remove Early Access if you dont think updating
