What If Catapults Were Chess Pieces? - Ouroboros King

[@Sauspreme]

Wow, did not expect the leper to be a Tabith-taking double edged sword! Also didn't expect having the queen essentially be a "game losing" piece, in addition to the king, making such a large difference to the dynamics of each round.

[@locus17]

the editing of what the move would have looked like at 2:00 was phenomenal WOW!

[@justaguycalledjosh]

I was genuinely confused as to why he still had the glass queen

[@jamesofthekaijukompendium]

It happens again at 16:16.

[@mangutroop]

editor did that in the last part as well, editor is goat I tell yall

13:47 catapult actually has 2 overlapping movesets in the vertical, a normal blockable move and a jumping move. The blockable move is what goes through portals how you'd expect. Jumping moves work a little differently with portals; it only counts the starting and end points (as 2 tiles) as the path it took. So if a jumping piece lands exactly on the portal, it gets an "extra move" from the exit, with the same distance/direction, which in your case was off the board.

13:47 The catapult jumps *over the portal*, not through it- because it has a piece in front of it it needs to fire over!

[@kdevelopergw]

no it's supposed to do both but because of a skill issue the dev couldn't make the logic work properly and so it can't jump over a piece after going through the portal

[@gressorialNanites]

@@kdevelopergw Okay but if you can't rewrite the logic, you should rewrite the description. - me, who literally writes product information for a living :)

[@kdevelopergw]

@@gressorialNanites the thing is, the logic is easily rewritable, it's just an oversight

[@thonk7611]

idk how i feel about the undo not undoing the spiked shield i feel like the undo should be for correcting mistakes, not as something that actually gives you a material advantage

[@eden3669]

it sorta makes sense since thats how it works for everything else (e.g. it doesn't refund items) and it can also give you a disadvantage as a result, but yeah i feel like it would make wayy more sense to have it return _everything_ about the game state to how it was before you used the undo

[@Kascep]

Honestly I think it will be treated as a bug and get fixed soon as I agree with your sentiment

[@EmilyGamerGirl]

Agreed, should do the same for your non-undo items

[@JustAnotherCommenter]

Every time Tyler mentions the enemy Agent X checking his king via turning into Agent +: "Rook" Every time Tyler mentions the fool checking his king via his previous piece movement: "Check"

[@rextanglr4056]

the catapult kinda reminds me of the cannon piece in chinese chess (aka xiangqi)

[@jodysgamingchannel9480]

"Glass Queen" is how a ton of newish players play. They absolutely refuse to sacrifice a queen!

[@zer0_674]

This game looks so fun in singleplayer and unlike other chesslike games, it looks fun if they ever make a multiplayer

[@Amphy2k]

[@BattlecatzplayrSlimCat]

Every single time he said "birch" it was quite personal

[@chisenchou]

That was a very satisfying win with 0 rewinds.

[@D4rKSUN1]

a PVP for this game would be amazing At the beggining both players pick 3 random pieces and a random relic Play round 1 After that you get to choose either a new piece or to upgrade an existant piece Play round 2 after Both players get to choose a relic Play round 3 After that you get to choose either a new piece or to upgrade an existant piece Play round 4 (if necessary) after Both players get to choose a relic Play a final fifht round if necessary The first player to get 3 wins is the winner of the match, put a 20 seconds timer per turn so players won't sit there doing nothing if the timer reach 0 you miss your turn and can't make a move (this way missing a turn can even be part of the strategy)

[@jamesofthekaijukompendium]

[@FinetalPies]

I have decided that after having to move the King out of the way 3 times, the catapult should be deployed on the right side

[@blackbot7113]

I was hoping they'd add a preview to how a piece moves to the game. Very nice!

[@BiggieBows1752]

I’d love to see Tyler play regular chess; if he’s able to think so far ahead with these odd pieces then what could he do on a normal board?

[@AndGoatz04]

i think it would be a funny easter egg if there was an item that let your king throw a piece

[@Arandomguy752]

The catapult take at 21:45 was a blunder because the fool could then take your glass queen. The ai didn't see that move though.

[@kratos9524]

There’s a funny bug (or I assume it’s a bug) where if you use the extra move every three turns but can move the same piece twice relic and it’s just your king, the opponents will just move their pieces infinitely and not kill the king.

Pieces that jump will jump over portals, hence why the catapult cannot go through them vertically.
