Chess for Dummies

This was very interesting. Very cool idea. I made it to level 10 but I'm not sure how it fits the theme? I never figured out what triggered the chain reactions. The style of the game is very clean and professional looking.

I think I reached a bug at level 9, I clicked on one of the pieces and the game stopped taking input. I will post an image showing my session, hope it helps.

The game is very addicting and fun to play, it feels satisfying to gather coins and the animations each piece has is very well made! The game would fit perfectly on mobile(and I see you have designed it with that in mind).

Personally I would like to see the number of coins needed to reach the next level on top of the progress bar. I think that will allow players to think more about what their next move should be. The effect that each piece has on one another could perhaps be better explained, now it feels like things happen randomly(but that might be intentional). I can understand why that would be difficult however since the game certainly is playable without that explicit knowledge.

Very good entry!

@wildcard Thanks for the review. We will fix that bug later. Yes we are going to publish it on mobile stores. The chain reaction is triggered automatically so it is hard to detect. We got no time for tutorial, i am glad it is playable without it. If we had spend more time on that would be great, but I cant work all night. It is 3am right now and
I am so tired.

@ravarion I will update description later. The chess game is all about the sacrifice your pieces. In this game when you tap on the tile for maybe 2 coin you will sacrifice the queen that has more abilities.

I think I enjoyed this game conceptually although still felt very confused about the mechanics and was otherwise a little lost while playing it. I think the game could greatly benefit from some kind of intro scene explaining the exact mechanics, because while I understood the chess movements, I'm not sure how that all corresponded to events that triggered on the tiles hit.

@aetylus there are 3 type of tiles. Chain reaction, lock breaker and double coin. It is hard to detect when it is triggered. I will add tutorials later. Thanks for review ^^

Is there any way to trigger a chain reaction? Or does that happen randomly?

Nice game, very addictive! Well presented too. It's called "for dummies", but there are some things I can't figure out without explanation.

Thank you for sharing your game with me. I played it on my stream tonight at https://www.twitch.tv/saoigames

I have rated your game, but all of my feedback was captured in the stream.
