Funny...

Drawing them from overhead like that is a lot harder than I originally thought. I seem to remember trying to draw them from a higher angle here, but it basically looked no different because I didn't know how to do it. What do you guys think about this time?

Can you truthfully and conclusively answer, "No," to this question?

Hmm..

I dont really get it... O_<

Ren Fest Reference

It's like the "Live Chess Game" at the Renaissance Festival. The players dress up like chess pieces and move as directed by the 'King'. Right :-?

No more denying. Stop trying to hide from it.

Yes,...

...except here, all they're supposed to do is stand in correct formation. The instant they're all standing in the right places to set up the chess board ready to play, they win - they don't even have to play.

Can you guys tell which splics are supposed to be which chess pieces?

Ahh!

I get it now, it was a bit hard to distinguish what part was the 'chessboard'... it was a bit chaotic with all the splickys (splickies, splicki?) and hard to notice that, but now that i see it, i like it ^^

All time fave

This is my absolute favorite Splicky mission so far. There's just so much to look at. And I get such a sense of their inate cuteness and silliness. They seem to be taking the whole thing very seriously, yet coming up with the cutest, silliest stuff. I just love the little queens with their full-skirted gowns, the castles holding the parapets on their heads and the knights on their little hobby horses.

I can't imagine anything replacing this one as my favorite for a long while! :-*

Yes, I was running a risk of confusion/chaos when I decided to have both a record-breaking† thirty-two splickies on the screen and an overhead shot. I'm glad you like it now that you've deciphered it, though! XD
