Repeated intro
Hello everyone! The moment we’ve been working towards for the last 5 months is finally here. The Kingster Public Playtest is officially OPEN! We are a small team pouring our hearts into this "Chess meets Roguelike" chaos, and we are incredibly excited to invite you to try it out. Your feedback means everything to us. That’s why we stayed in a "closed playtest" phase for a while, gathering invaluable feedback from friends and amazing strangers alike.

But we aren't stopping here—we will continue working on major improvements and new features in the background as we head towards the Demo and full Release. 🔥 What’s New in This Build? Based on those early tests, we’ve made massive improvements:
