    Someone on the leaderboard got to 118? Would be fun to watch that replay.

    There must be something in the water! I’ve been working on a (very different) chess-like roguelike, and just released the demo. Check it out if you’re a fan of weird chess puzzles, bad chess puns, and Hnefatafl!<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;store.steampowered.com&#x2F;app&#x2F;3856240&#x2F;Pieces_of_the_Kingdom&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;store.steampowered.com&#x2F;app&#x2F;3856240&#x2F;Pieces_of_the_Kin...</a>

      That&#x27;s awesome! I&#x27;ve been working on nearly this exact same idea as a prototype in Godot. Looks like my work is done! ;-)

      So, Battle Chess 2026?

        You’ve got me; I was very much a Battle Chess addict once upon a time…

    Looks like enemy movements are deterministic, wonder how feasible it is to script this. Was able to increase my score by 4 points trying alternate lines near the end

    Very nice. Enjoyed playing this. I know Chess, what is Roguelike here ?

      In the most general terms, a procedurally generated world with permadeath. The term&#x27;s inspired by Rogue[1].<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Rogue_(video_game)" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Rogue_(video_game)</a>

    Charming!<p>Reminds me of Alice:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;folklore.org&#x2F;Alice.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;folklore.org&#x2F;Alice.html</a><p>(which I played manically until I managed _1_ perfect game of --- still have the box&#x2F;disk....)

    This is cool!<p>One suggestion: some way to tell what the enemy pieces are? Maybe a legend to the right of the board? I ended up discovering by trial and error.

    Very cool concept only annoying thing was I exited out of the instructions panel and then wanted to revisit it later but it seemed impossible

    I think I found a mini bug. Say I do a score of 10. Then I change board. Then I die with score &lt; 10. I still have 10 for that board. It makes it easy to cheat the leaderboard :) Fun game!

    What is Rogue-like about this?
    • tweetle_beetle32 minutes ago
      You&#x27;re right, it&#x27;s just a puzzle game. Strange to use the theme of chess and change a queen into a prince too.<p>Pawnbarian is more chess-inspired than a chess themed, but actually rogue(lite)-like and very good.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;j4nw.com&#x2F;pawnbarian&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;j4nw.com&#x2F;pawnbarian&#x2F;</a>
