Fun game. I played to level 60. I liked the final few levels where the pieces were mixed up better than just playing one piece (e.g. knight) at a time.
Initially I avoided landing next to the King, because in Chess the King will take the piece, but I see there are no defensive strategies built into the game. Might be an idea for future releases.
Thanks Evolutionary games ! Glad you liked it.
Great idea. I am trying to bring more nuances of similar natrue. (Defensive pieces)
