Some fun trivia, originally the rook was in place of the bishop since people call the bishop the "sniper" sometimes in chess, but then I realized that the way the rook moved was diagonally in the game which made no sense so I switched it out for the bishop. It still make some sense since the rook is called the "cannon" in other languages

Ah that make sense, the rook will definitely be off putting if it was moving diagonally. I originally view the rook as a fortress or last line of defense, but the game convey the rook in a more intriguing way considering how you mentioned it being called "cannon" in other languages. None the less great game and if you decide to develop it further, I wonder what the queen will do lol
