I love this game, but its too easy imo. The game is really well made though so no complaints on that end.
Hope you continue working on this or at least make more games :D
Great to hear that you love the game!! Thank you so much for the encouragement.
My journey with Murder on the Chessboard is not over yet, stay tuned for harder challenges!
very cute! it was very fun and i loved the graphics, i could figure out most of the puzzles without filling most of them in bc there was only one spot where the muder could happen (usually the panel before the last one) and then you can just figure out which character could have been there by backtracking from the last panel, but that's part of the fun i guess
imo it could use more of a difficulty spike since they felt a bit easy, but it's lovely for what it is as well!
Thank you so much for playing my litte prototype <3
Yes, higher difficulty puzzles are definitely on my list, some ideas:
- you also need to give alibis for the other pieces
- you don't know the last position and have to track from the front without knowing the king's final spot
- King is poisoned instead of knifed and moves after the murderer has struck
Stay tuned for more :D
