I liked this a lot. The opening cutscene and blood splatters for dead pieces are particularly nice touches. The risk-reward of trying to kill as many of your own pieces as you can without losing so many that you can't also take all the black pieces is very fun.
That the black queen will happily kill the white king is kinda funny and can make the endgame a bit tricky, though the AI seems a bit random in how aggressive it is.
A small UI thing, the "possible moves" highlights don't show enemy pieces you can take, I didn't realise the king has the queen's moveset at night initially because of this.
