Once A Pawn A Time...

Once A Pawn A Time Our entry for Global Game Jam 2022

Navigate the board carefully, plan your steps accordingly, and reach the exit. Click on the cards to choose your action. Each action comes with another action that affects your enemies.

We didn't manage to get everything in we've wanted or worked on, like multiple levels with increasing difficulty, more enemy types, polished end-game UI and so on. But overall the jam was pretty fun and we are proud of the game we've made :)
