Make the tough decisions that politicians have to make. How to raise money, exploit the people you represent, crush your opponent in the polls, all while ignoring your actual duties.
How To Play:
The goal of the game is simple. By the time your campaign is over (12 months) gain more support at the polls than your opponent. If you gain more support than your opponent, then you move on to the next higher level of government.
To do this, choose from three categories of what to do, and choose an action from those categories. Each action will increase or decrease your and your opponent's support.
Each action will also increase or decrease the overall "health" of your district. But it doesn't matter; you can let it go to zero. All that matters is that you get re-elected! In-fact, if you actually do your job it's harder to get re-elected.
Which is the point of the game. Most politicians don't actually do their jobs, they just work to get re-elected. ;)
Note on the current build of the game:
This is a work in progress. I did not get as much time as I wanted to work on the game. I wanted different choices for each level, different map pictures per level, a profile of your politician in the upper right, and different win/lose screens and descriptions. But I ran out of time.
This is also a solo entry. But the submit was not working for me on Sunday night, so I had to enter this as a Jam entry on Monday morning. Doesn't matter. I don't want to win, I just had fun participating.
