I absolutely loved the game, beat it a few times after I commented on the itch.io version, even snuck in a game or two at work. It was just overall fun and had a good spark to it. If you don't do anything past it don't beat yourself up over it, I just hope others take inspiration from what you've done and iterate on it to improve the genre because I didn't think a pve version of this kind of game could be so engaging.
It didn't even have most of the long term progression mechanics most games in this genre had and I still came back to it multiple times as an adult with a job and limited free time, so to me that speaks of something great!

Yeah I gotta say I really enjoyed Necrochess. I didn't even realize it, but for a pretty long time, it became part of my daily rituals to just do 1 run, even long after I had already beaten the king. It's a fun (and addicting) game for sure.
