The King is Watching condenses kingdom-building strategy to a single screen

Summary
The King Is Watching is a new real-time strategy (RTS) game that has an easy-to-understand single-screen interface and automatic battles, writes Juan Sanchez in an article on Medium.
The game has a resource management system and self-balancing difficulty, along with randomized upgrades, which keep each gaming session fresh.
The action takes place on a small 4x4 grid of squares representing the player’s castle, where blueprint tiles are placed to produce basic and refined resources.
These resources are used to place more blueprints and power factories that produce defensive units to protect the player’s castle from periodic waves of enemies.
Only a few contiguous tiles within the area of the “king’s gaze” can be productive at any one time, so players have to prioritize the resources and units they need immediately, dragging and rotating the “gaze” to ensure maximum efficiency and productivity.
