About this game
Le Château (French for "the castle") is a tiny city builder, mostly about showing creativity with limited resources and limited space.
Great for when you've got little to no time, but you have this itch to play a game.
Make your kingdom as small as 1 tile, or as big as 11x11 tiles, and enjoy the aesthetics of several different color palettes.
⬜Multiple world shapes
🏰Dozens of different types of objects to choose from
🎨6 different color palettes
👑Complete control over the size of your kingdom
🤼A world that slowly comes alive as more tiles are filled
🐸Frogs
Le Château has no real goal. Just lots of freedom in building the kingdom of your dreams!

April Fools Update (can be disabled)
Hello Kings & Queens, It is April Fools today, so I figured to celebrate the 1 week since launch for Le Château, I would make this super cozy experience temporarily a super intense experience; a clicker game. Place buildings like how you always would. But...keep clicking them...because otherwise they will slowly shrink >:) Enjoy! (it can be disabled by pressing the enabled button in the bottom left! happy building!) TheShelfmanRead full article on Community Announcements (SirShelfu)Patch NotesOfficial
Update 1.0.2
Changes: Tutorial step about achievement panel no longer blocks the button text preview at the bottom of the screen Fixes: Fixed Color palette button staying in place rather than moving to the edge of the screen Fixed achievements sometimes not being recognized and therefore unlocking tiles (I really hope it’s been fixed!) Fixed Ocean Time achievement tiles already being unlocked from the start Fixed 11 tile world achievement unlocking 9, 7, and 5 tile world achievement as well (same for 9 unlocking 7 and 5, and 7 unlocking 5)Read full article on Community Announcements (SirShelfu)
