A few development thoughts:

The theme of this Ludum Dare was Keep it alive. As a starting point, in our conversations at the brainstorm phase, we realized that in chess, we need to keep the king alive. One of us recalled the short TED animation about the history of chess, and used it as some inspiration. The idea was to transform chess into an action game, without any turns, and a multi-management challenge.

Give us some feedback if you feel like it. No matter if you liked the game or not, we'll have lots to learn by hearing you!
