Pawn of the Dead
Pawn of the Dead, our entry to the GMTK Game Jam 2021!
In this game, we have joined together two game concepts: chess and dungeon crawlers. Navigate through multiple levels, taking out the enemy pieces in the process. When you take out an enemy piece, you transform into its type.
Control via mouse, restart levels using R.

I replayed the game for the ending where I don’t kill the king. there is no ending. i’m disappointed.
Really cool idea, couple thoughts
Some pieces weren’t moving, not sure if they were meant to be neutral pieces that could be captured, if so different color might be more intuitive.
It would be really cool to control multiple pieces.
Tons of possibilities when considering adding the queen, and puzzle elements in the environment.
The AI is a little confusing to judge what moves they would make.
Sick game, hope you do well!
very very cool and fun
This Game makes me want to try to finish all the levels in different ways. Very interesting and on the top I learned some Chess.
Was a very fun game, played it till completion and made the king fall >:D The last level was a lot of fun but some of the other levels could have used some work namely the one before the last level. I found myself just going back and forth waiting for the castle on the line to just go somewhere else because if i went on the line i would just die but he just kept going back and forth. other then that it was a very fun game, thank you for the enjoyable experience.
Chess 2 looking good
I love this!
