Dear Chancellor
Controls:
Hold LMB to aim, RMB activates the Unconventional Weapon.
Gamepads should also work! (depending on your browser). Aim with the analog sticks, try what the buttons do.
The +/- keys on your keyboard increase/decrease speed and the number of enemies spawned, feel free to cheat.
Best played in Chrome-based and WebGL-enabled browsers. Seriously, don't even attempt to play this in Safari, it will look like ass and the audio probably won't work properly. Don't be a Safari.
Description:
"Dear Chancellor is like, a totally highbrow critique of late capitalism. You wouldn't understand."
Made with Construct 2 in a couple of hours. This was somewhat of a last-minute project as I had other obligations and I lost like half a day of work to a system freeze. Because I didn't do an initial save of the project then, C2's autosave function didn't do its job. So yeah, fun times. I feel like I could have done a lot more with this idea, but there you go. Might do a post-jam version, I dunno. We'll see.

diiq20 Apr 2015, 22:58
Mhahahahahaha this was my first real, deep belly laugh of day. Thank you!

I don't get the reference but this is hilarious and so fun!

Damnit now I really wish you hadn't lost half a day of work on this. Superbly done, channeling Sos in a big way :)
Is this about Quantitative Easing policies in Europe or something?
It's more a toy, but the juice is OFF THE CHARTS. Really good :)
REALLY want to rate the music :)

I liked it, the feeling was good, but I don't understand what happened
5/5, because why not

This may be the best thing I have seen. IRL.
zwartraider22 Apr 2015, 17:51
Oh wow, that's some deep political commentary, and indeed, I don't get it :) I shoot money, but then more money appears and I am increasing an existing debt. Awesome, the special move is also quite cool. Nice animations and overall feel to the whole thing.

Very fun little game! :)

BIZM22 Apr 2015, 19:25
We played this for way too long! Go Angela go!

This is obviously more of a toy than anything else, but the visuals and effects are top notch ! Good job, keep working on this :D

dyfer23 Apr 2015, 17:19
i had a big laugh at the first picture and the game gave me a new one xD very cool ^^

zatyka24 Apr 2015, 01:54
Silly, short, not much gameplay, but damn that was enjoyable.

slowfrog26 Apr 2015, 20:17
I find your critique of the capitalistic system a bit abstract. A few pictures of Greek politicians with a background music generated by high-frequency trading automata would have made it more powerful, I think ;)

uvwar26 Apr 2015, 20:19
Very fun/interesting game for something only made in a few hours! I'm assuming you can't actually die/lose right? Keep adding to this and hope your saves don't eat themselves in the meantime.
steboots26 Apr 2015, 20:21
Hahahahahahahaha, that just happened. Sorry you lost your work, this was magnificent given your time frame!
Martin Vilcans26 Apr 2015, 20:36
I love the punk style graphics design. I don't really get the political reference, but I love that there is one!
randoman26 Apr 2015, 21:06
Hahaha, I love the style of this game.
