The cat monarch has taken a seven week sabbatical and left you in control of the kingdom! As monarch it is up to you to decide whether to grow the monarchy's massive wealth horde or to use that wealth to increase the happiness of your subjects! There are many important and dramatic decisions to be made.

Made with GameMaker. Art with Aseprite. Music with Beepbox.

I really like the jokes and the game was very well put together! Some of the issues repeated, but the outcomes changed anyway. Great game!

I was laughing like 90% of the time... though I am a mediocre leader apparently...

I can tell a lot of work went into the character sprites for your game. While it didn't exactly fall under the category of "Growing" or "Two-Button Control", I still enjoyed it nonetheless. The humor in the game is great, although I did feel like running back and forth to the advisors was a bit of a chore. The writing was entertaining as well, but the choices felt a little bit too black-and-white, with no real moral issue, and I didn't feel invested in the peasant's problems. Overall, I enjoyed the game. Congratulations on a successful Ludum Dare!

And the baby cats are still burning in the forest. Perfect.

Great writing as always, Jason. Could have used the theme a bit more, but the quality exempts that a little.

I love the art, music, dialogue and overall decision making system. Quality game. Thank you guys for this.

So I walk. A lot. Which is appropriate for a fatty ruling cat I guess. And talked. A lot.

Very nice graphics and ubuesque atmosphere. I liked how my decisions did not change much in agenerally stable situation. Had fun!

Yo, I was just jamming to that first track! Music is great! The pixel art is very as well as the script! Great job!

Now, I must go find a cat to pet!

I was reading everything in my head in "FilmCow" voice, it just felt right. Pretty fun game, i liked how you end rate was including pretty much everything you did, like consulting advisors every week

The cat to the far left went from being the worst character to the best. <3

The concept behind this game is pretty funny. I, of course, lost most of my cheese because I kept helping everybody. However, the happiness was up, much to the surprise of the adviser. The graphics and music fit well.
