I had a very hard time reading the rules in the Blackletter font and some of the moves seemed like I should have had more options than I did to prevent captures. The piece icons and board were lovely though.

\nI choose that specific font for relating it to theme! And all the things present in the game are related to theme!!
\nThe game rule is to compulsorily take the kill; when kill is possible. The same thing I was arguing it with my sister 😅. Otherwise the game never ends.

Would have been nice to see a little more animation of the pieces moving around, and the audio was a bit harsh, but otherwise a pleasant experience.
\nAI seemed to throw the game at the end though, not sure if that was on purpose as we’d hit a stalemate, but if it was, good job on not letting the game die in stalemate!

It just did a move that was not what I had chosen. Sometimes it seems like it was sort of a delayed rendering thing, where I was clicking on the piece to select it but it had decided it should already be selected, so then was interpreting my click as the position I wan’t go go to and selected the closest one perhaps?

\nThe game doesn’t render correctly in Firefox. Everything is slightly in the wrong place. The sound effects add nicely to the game, but the “victory” sound was very loud.

I think I encountered some bugs, that when I was planning my next move the opponent suddenly played his move. Not so sure about that or if I just misclicked.\nThe game is very solid and I really liked that you were able to incorporate both single and multi-player. Congratulations to this game!
