As someone who sucks at chess, I need to try so many times however it takes too long to jump into the game again. There needs to be an option to skip dialogue quickly.
The gameplay is fun, original, simple but very efficient!
The music is great, and I also loved how you used some storytelling to explain the "2 extra jokers".
In my experience, for any progression level, the map layout has a HUGE impact on difficulty. It's nice that maps are partially generated with some randomnes, but maybe this can make some levels really unsolvable, for example due to a canyon in the middle of the map, splitting your troops. That's a bit frustrating sometimes, but I really like the game overall!
I like the concept! One question: it says the ground won't deteriorate when you're near, but what counts as "near"? What's the range there? It isn't clear.

Hey, there’s a secret control to skip dialogue, ctrl+shift+S. The game shows this when you beat it, but by that point it’s probably a bit redundant….
I just got to playing this.
Brilliant game.
I really liked your game, thank you!

Tiles that are 1 square away are safe
Thanks for the response, excellent jam game!

Like I promised I got someone whos better than me in Chess to play your game. Here's the promised gameplay:
Damn your friend got really lucky with the final area, that's normally really tough. Thanks again for sharing it with him, was fun to watch!
Nice pacing, nice sprites.
The best strategy-based rage game I've ever played.
But in all seriousness, a very neat game! Pretty tough, but probably easier if you're experienced with chess.
