Kingdom 8 was born from late nights, tight deadlines, and an 8-bit crown of responsibility. Created for Abyssal's Pixel Game Jam #12, under the theme “RPG”, this minimalist game puts you in charge of a fragile kingdom teetering between war, rebellion, and betrayal.
Built using the PICO-8 fantasy console, Kingdom 8 works within creative constraints: a 128x128 pixel canvas, 16 colors, and limited sound channels. Every pixel, every beep matters — and that simplicity feeds into the tense decisions you’ll make as king.
You’ll interact with four royal advisors offering wisdom, suspicion, or chaos. Your crown hangs on a thread.
