the only thing ive found that i think should b changed is that upon reaching the opposite side of the board, something should change. my soldier units keep reaching the other side and becoming stuck and its like they basically were sacrificed. other than this, great game so far

AI: 1) do i die if i move there 2) do i eat enemy by moving 3) do i get closer to flag by moving. cause of this you can rush towards flag as long as you make sure you got one who can protect AI will not attack if it would lose a single unit by killing you! so AI rather loses game than sacrifices a soldier duh...

I like the spin on chess. You really are on the right track. I would like to see a challenge mode too. That may help with people who want more of a puzzle feel. You can keep the standard progression you have here, but then add challenges where you start mid-game and have to pull out a win or even have a unique non-traditional board where you are out numbered or whatever and have to win. I like what you are doing! Keep it up!

It is rather difficult to distinguish between different tiers of the same piece in later levels. Just put a number on the piece to show its level.

The game is real nice but I think the screen that switches you from "easy" to "medium" could use some improvement. :)

Hey ranoknas, the Piece movement being confusing is def something I thought about. Because the pieces level up in a way I wanted to add in some visual cues. So you have the 4 pieces types, soldier, centaur, dwarf, and minotaur. Then they have 3 levels which allow them to move 1 space, 2 spaces, or across the board in their own directions. Finally there is a visual cue for each level. Level 1 have no weapons, level 2 has a shield, and level 3 has a shield and weapon. Hope this might make it more clear.

Great Game!!! i love chess puzzles and want to see your game get better. just some ideas, perhaps get a unique shape/icon for each piece, if not a different character like shogi? i found playing to be kinda tedious as i need to keep checking how each piece moves.

You should really change the finished screen. I mena, A red button with text written in with paint? You can do better.
unless it's some kind of easter egg.. lol

Seems too similar to chess, though I actually prefer Pawns to whatever the first piece is. Not bad, but it needs to have some variety, as chess itself gives you more options than this does.

I love the different moves that wouldn't normally be in a game of chess. The moves of the AI are predictable after a while. Good game but not the very very best. 4/5

If you could arrange the pieces at the beggining, and have a player vs player mode, this could become something great

Good enough - needs better AI and better Graphics. I didn't mind about the graphics, then I saw the next level button. Fun though 4/5

Great job. Chess has survived because of its simplicity and complexity. Its difficult to improve on something like that. Bold to even try. Also, multimillion dollar computers are built entirely for chess, so to attempt an AI is very difficult. Very well done. Obviously it would be great to have more challenge, but for what it is, its great. I would consider scenarios though, they may add an extra flavor. For example a setup that leaves you shorthanded or next to defeat asking the player to escape or survive x turns. Keep up the great work.
