This is really cool, I've heard of the game of ur before but have never played any variant of it. If I had to give any complaint I guess it would be nice to have more of a tutorial to explain what's going on, but after playing for a little while it became really clear really fast. I think you could've leaned into the theme more and maybe made the pieces little spies or something but honestly I think it was really cool regardless and fit, though a bit abstract
Same thoughts but hand't time to put human like figures. I wanted to have agents with random generated names :.) I added the How To Play button as well but should have placed it first in the menu! Hinting the available actions when hovering the figures, besides of marking available movements with particles and a little particle effect when moving was something I felt I had to do because, indeed, without them the game made veeery little sense.
This is an awesome, hooking and tricky game, but I can hardly see how it might be connected to the Jam theme
Thanks! The jam was just an excuse, I must confess! But as I progressed, I really enjoyed giving it that tactic-vibe of spionage, thinking of pieces as agents rather than mere pieces. That's why, for example, instead of "spawn, move, kill and extract", I shifted to "deploy, advance, eliminate and extract". Regarding the theme, it is clearly more focused on cost-of-opportunity and wise choices rather than stealth and infiltration.
