About This Game

Your kingdom works while you do.

Taskbar Kingdom is a medieval idle game that lives along the bottom of your desktop. Your castle, your villagers and your army sit right above the taskbar — while you write, code, browse or watch, your realm keeps growing on its own.

Everything outside the game passes straight through: clicks go to your desktop, your windows stay usable, and the kingdom is there whenever you glance down.

Hold the border

The Crown has entrusted you with a small, forgotten castle on the frontier. Send villagers to the fields, the forest and the mine. Gather resources, upgrade your buildings and raise your castle, level by level.

Defend your walls

Raiders come at intervals — swordsmen, axemen, archers, crossbowmen, and catapults that target your walls. Train swordsmen, spearmen, archers, crossbowmen and knights, then build watchtowers and stretch walls between them. Battles play out on their own, right on your screen.

Lose a fight and you're plundered, but you never start from zero. Repair, regroup and come back stronger.

March out

Once your castle stands firm, take the fight to them. Send troops on expeditions that last from minutes to hours in real time. Every expedition is a real choice: while your soldiers are away, your castle is weaker.

Claim the land and rise at court

Expeditions lead across a hand-crafted map of regions, each with its own reward. Every region you take is yours to keep. Earn renown and climb the ranks: Marcher Lord, Knight, Count, Marquis, Duke and, at last, Hand of the Crown.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Some of the game's visuals were created with the help of generative AI tools, including pixel-art sprites for characters, buildings and items. Each image was selected, adjusted and fitted into the game by the developer.
The in-game text in languages other than English was drafted with AI assistance.
No AI is used while you play: the game does not generate any content in real time. All sound effects and ambience are made procedurally from code, not with AI.
