How does the game fit the theme?
Monarch is a strategic clicker where you manage your kingdom by balancing resources. At first, everything seems under control—NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG...... but as time passes, Every click shapes the fate of your rule—will your reign last, or will your kingdom fall in the blink of an eye? Keep your people fed, your army strong, and your faith unshaken… or face ruin.

Nice game! I lasted a little over 700 years then it became just too fast for me.
I really like the presentation. It's very neat and to-the-point. The button hover sound is super heavy on the bass with my earphones. One extra gameplay mechanic could really tie this game together
As they say, people need
bread and circuses, food, faith and an army. Interesting concept. I would like resources to be applied automatically or to be located next to timers.I would be glad if you rate our game and leave a review, too.
Fun game ! I really like the visuals, and I think the sounds fit very well with the retro atmosphere.
The gameplay is a bit too simple, so it’s not a game I would play for hours, but it has potential for improvement!
However, I had a lot of fun discovering this project. Nice work!
Good visuals and good audio, the gameplay lacks a bit of a "twist", i.e. it gets a bit boring after some time. Find something that makes the game a bit more strategic, where you have to think a bit, or plan ahead. Over the years I have learned that "fun" comes from a learning curve, where you slowly get better at something. You really have potential and could make something cool out of it!
This is a lot of fun! I love how hectic it gets once the timers are going down super fast. I managed to survive 1000 years on my 2nd try! Great work!
THANKS A TON! Im really glad you enjoyed, 1000 YEARS is a great run :DD
Very good idea and nice Game as well!
Thank You!
This is very cool and feels complete. However, I found the difficulty curve to be through the roof! Nice work!
Thanks! Yeah, the difficulty is pretty high—I might tweak it. Glad you liked it!
Hiii! played and rated. good job! feel free to check out ours too
very impressive - great job!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH :D ! Really glad you liked it.
Loved the music. Simple game and lots of fun too!
Thank You! Im really glad you enjoyed :D
Cool game! I liked how you were able to make a psuedo-city builder/clicker so simply! Audio was nice. My first run through I did not realize the icons in the top right were clickable and that's how you staved off the crisis. The crises definitely start coming fast toward the end. Very fun!
Glad you liked it! And yeah, I should’ve made it clearer that the buttons were clickable—I'll keep that in mind for future projects. Thanks for the feedback :D
cute game, I like it
Thank You!
I lived 800 years, not bad for a king :D
Great visuals and audio!
800 years is a great run! Thank you for playin :))
Neat little game. Aesthetic is very nice, art assets and sound complement each other nicely.
Would recommend making the gameplay more complex with more mechanics.
Solid foundations to build on. Good job!
THANK YOU!! Im super happy that you liked the aesthetics, will definitely work upon it after the jam :))
the vibe is IMMACULATE
THANK YOU! Im glad you enjoyed
Simple yet fun!
Make the clickable zones stand out.
The waiting time hourglass can also be hard to notice at times. Maybe make that stand out a bit too.
Also i would have loved if the resources were positioned to coincide with the things they are preventing.
THANKS FOR PLAYING! 😸 Will DEFINITELY work on the UI, im glad you enjoyed
Nice visuals and the game plays great. However, it feels a bit too fast for me. The clickable areas on the map might be highlighted visually, at first I did not see where I could click.
Nevertheless, nice submission! :)
THANK YOU! Im glad you found it fun :))))
I loved it. Great visuals and audio. It is a little shallow from the part of the gameplay I think I understand.
Thank you! Will work on the gameplay soon :))
I loved the art style
Thank you!
