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?

From a quick test play, destroying with a laser seems to be a move itself, so takes a turn.
I tryed a couple of times, but I can't laser anything.
It works by having the Laser positioned the turn before, on the turn you want to laser something click on the laser, and drag it to the dot on the edge of the board on the diagonal you want to laser.
I've had it happen where it was just disabled, I would have won because I could laser the king but it just didn't show me the dots.
If the "potential destination" indicator dot is under a piece it might be there but not visible.
Ahh it might have been under the king then, thanks!
+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 can move like a rook in chess, the way two other pieces are described?
