The Bishop and Knight's Escape
A game in which you play two captured chess pieces escaping from a prison. But there are robot guards everywhere! One of the characters is immune from their attacks, and must protect the other - but which one takes on the role of protector and which takes on the role of protected changes from level to level.
Made for the GMTK Game Jam 2023, with the theme "Roles Reversed."

Really liked the game, cool idea and nice art
love the cute art. only thing I wish it had is an undo button for moves
clicked for the art, stayed for the gameplay <3 very good idea ... it has a valkyria chronicles feel in the turn based strategy thing ... wish I could kill the guard here
btw I thought maybe it would be cool to have a "pass" option, although it would make it farther from chess and closer to strategy games
Thanks for checking this out! Each unit can actually stay in place by clicking on the tile it's currently standing on. There's no "End Turn" button for the entire team like there is in something like Fire Emblem, but there are only two units to go through.
oh did not see that, thanks
