The game’s good, but…

This game is basically what I’ve been looking for for a very long time. However, I can tell it’s not exactly in its finished phase yet. I’ve seen some glitches, and things that it should have.

First, my main glitch I’ve seen is if you close the app without shutting it down, then it starts flashing and becomes unplayable. If that could be fixed, it’d be appreciated.

Second, there should be spells you can cast to help you. For example, building a wall, dropping a meteor, or just forming things. What would be even better is some way to build things.

Finally, making a few other characters better would be good. The turtle is effectively a lackluster pawn, so giving it a healthbar, and better motion. It can take 3 hits before it is destroyed, something like that. Also, make it so the copy cat does not spawn with two, but for every copy cat you have it becomes stronger. Every single copy cat on the board moves in unison. This can be easy for a giant to remove, but difficult for something else. Also, the giant should be stronger. I haven’t tested it much, so this may be already present, but give it a similar health bar to the turtle. It can be instant killed by other giants.

This is all. None of it is required, but it would likely make the game more enjoyable.

This game is AWESOME

I just started playing and love everything about it it is an amazing game with no ads which is hard to find and you can play offline the gimmicks that the pieces have are fun and the comparison to normal chess is very close one thing that could be improved is to have skins for the original pieces (king, queen, pawn, rook, etc) that look like the pieces from the base game

My fav game

Really fun to play with friends and play your self

No online

I saw the SSundy vid that YOU saw and I got it I tried apple but it didn’t work so I tried to login normally but it said the address was invalid so I can’t get any of your OG pices
So that’s the only bad thing to fix but I will NOT play it until you fix it.
