Laser

The game is perfectly playable as it is, and a lot of fun! Well done. You might want to create some discord or similar to make sure the community outlives the short-lived HN…

Really fun. Clock can be fixed and small issues here and there but fun game.

It's really cool, I love it! If it sticks, maybe it could even be adopted as a variant in Lichess?

Same here - the games just randomly end, sometimes my clock gets set to 0 out of nowhere, sometimes the opponent's. Fun game though!

Interesting game. But there are some annoying bugs due to which I can't play it much. Sometimes my clock randomly resets to 0. Sometimes the game ends randomly and makes one…

As fun as the game seems to be, there are bugs that makes it impossible to play. Clock randomly jumps to zero. I can sometimes make infinite moves. Using laser is a bit…

it's not broken but it's not intuitive. horizontal/vertical to move, but if you drag your queen to one of the point that is on a diagonal, it will destroy pawns and kings that…

Cool game, I just wish the rules were bit more detailed, like when does the laser destroy pieces, all after the move, or one every turn?

+1. Can the laser shoot across either diagonal? Pawns only move to adjacent squares, like in chess? If the laser can move horizontally and vertically, then why not just say it…

This game is very good, congrats! I would like to play more, but the games seem to be unreliable - the moves from my opponents stop getting through at some point, typically after…

The game is fun! I think I've walked into a bug. https://imgur.com/a/WX04SD4 (Assuming black starts with a1 at bottom left): 1. Kc5 d6; 2. e3 <= was my next move but my pawn…

The appearing and disappearing ‘lobby’ entries above the analysis board cause the rest of the page to jump up and down at random. It makes the rules and all following content…

Cool micro chess variant! UX needs some work, the lobbies push the content of the game board up & down, and it isn't clear how to choose whether to move or shoot a board edge…

This is fun. It would be great if there were a ladder system so I can avoid all the dodgers and html injection testers and play real games

I love it, but needs matchmaking, too much trolls.

Would love to hear more about how you came up with this game! Have you thought about making it so you can play against the computer?

Have you considered adding a choice of a second skin for the game where the pieces have different looking sci-fi shapes? Chess pieces can be confortable to some but could also…

Cool idea but please use custom icons for the Queen and Rook. Otherwise, it's massively confusing.

Hey everyone, this has gained way more attention than I thought it would, 250 people playing right now, wow! 1. Thanks to everyone finding bugs, I just fixed what I think was…

Reminds me of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khet_(game)

> In 2017 a company called "Thinkfun" acquired the license for the now out of print Khet 2.0 and rebranded the game "Laser Chess". Now with a new, modernized scifi look, it…

Neat! I built a similar chess variant based on Chess 2 by Dave Sirlin[0]. You can play that one online here: https://www.chess2online.com The nice part about Chess 2 is that the…
