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

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

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

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's inspired by Rogue[1].
(which I played manically until I managed _1_ perfect game of --- still have the box/disk....)

This is cool!
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 < 10. I still have 10 for that board. It makes it easy to cheat the leaderboard :) Fun game!

What is Rogue-like about this?

You're right, it's just a puzzle game. Strange to use the theme of chess and change a queen into a prince too.
Pawnbarian is more chess-inspired than a chess themed, but actually rogue(lite)-like and very good.
