Pretty neat idea! Trying to figure out the way through by thinking ahead across the piece switch and enemy moves so you don't get trapped is interesting throughout. You can sometimes get trapped when you blindly enter some rooms with certain pieces, which is a bummer. This is seems to happen mostly with the knight though (bishop trappings are rare and king/queen/rooks seem like they never trap you), so I guess in theory you can try to avoid capturing knights to keep them out of the switch queue and minimize the risk. It's also a little odd that to restart you have to refresh the page. But that's pretty minor.
This was a pretty neat way to incorporate chess into a different game style! The fact you have to change pieces every turn makes it pretty fun to think about the best way to defeat the enemy with what you've got! Fun prototype!
Only taking queens and dodging everything else to find the flag seemed to work well for me, It's an interesting concept putting two things I enjoy together and I think it could shine if it had a bit more polish.
I almost did a chess style game for the jam, so I love seeing this. Really cool idea. Could definitely play this for a little while...and I probably will 😆 Great job

I like the movement of each chess character normally, and I think this is a splendid way to incorporate them into another game style! Great job!

Only thing is that when you enter a room with a knight sometimes you have a situation where no matter what you do it's game over, otherwise it's good

Plus chess has really blown up lately.
