I playtested this with Zillions.  A good game--so much like orthochess, but
just different enough to really bite you if you don't watch out.  The King
being unable to capture backwards makes some strange endgames possible,
such as Kings on adjacent squares.  

This game would be playable with orthodox Kings, but the thematic Kings
really add to the charm of the game.
