Eurovision: world domination through the power of song
This game is from the old Ludum Dare platform. You can try viewing the original page on Web Archive (may not load correctly).
EUROVISION: WORLD DOMINATION THROUGH THE POWER OF SONG
In this game you are the leader of a European country who wants world domination. But such things can't be done alone, so you need friends.
Instead of going through the boring route of diplomacy and politics, you will be using a more UNCONVENTIONAL WEAPON: your voting powers in the Eurovision Song Contest to gain the favour of your fellow European countries (and Australia).
By awarding countries with many points, they will like you for it and return points back the next year. Can you form a big enough power block to win the Eurovision Song Contest? If you can do that, the world belongs to you!

HOW TO PLAY:
By giving many points to a country, you will befriend them and they will return the favour in the next year. So by strategically awarding points to the countries you want in your group of friends, you can manipulate the results in the long run and eventually become winner of the Eurovision Song Contest and thus the world.

This is my first entry for Ludum Dare. I'm not really a game developer, so I created a website instead. I hope it works, because the code isn't that great. If you're having trouble, maybe trying a different browser might help.
The game depends heavily on music (it's a song contest after all). I've created a lot of songs during this weekend for this game, so please turn up your speakers and enjoy the beautiful Euro sounds.

All code, art & music has been made by me during the weekend of LD32.
The sound track is on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/martijnwf/sets/ld32-eurovision-world
I used http://www.bandnamemaker.com and http://www.songname.net to generate the random band/song names that are shown in the game. I tried my best to remove any profanities from the generated names. If you do come across a name which offends you, I'm sorry about that.
