Seems like a very colourful game!

I like the wide selection of short-range pieces here.  I also like the way
you can figure out the moves of the pigeon, gull, and owl are by their
colours.

The jumping rules are also very interesting.  The possible checkmate
patterns are very innovative.  Especially with the Shogi drops, it
doesn't seem as hard to checkmate as I first thought.

I'm not sure how it plays, but it looks good to me.
