Living in Malmö, Sweden, I observe with great concerns the rising popularity of the right-wing political party 'Sweden Democrats'. Simultaneously, even the slightest sign of approval of one of the party's concerns makes one to a outlawed racist pig. In this little game, I tried to critically process my own reflexions and thoughts on the Swedish society.
GAME
In this game, you play as a voter of the right-wing Sweden Democrats (SD) party. On you daily task to pick up your daughters from day-care, you end up in a leftist Anti-PEGIDA and Anti-SD demonstration...
GOAL: Find your two daughters in the crowd and leave the demonstration on the street at the top right.
Control with the arrow keys.
(There is a bug with the background music when you die (multiple music layers). Simply switch to another tab/window and back to the game and music will start from scratch again.)
I get what you were going for, but I don't really feel like you accomplished it. I can't say a whole lot about the political message of this game, as I'm not well informed on Swedish politics, but I found the gameplay to be a bit frustrating. Dodging and weaving through crowds felt fairly impossible, and it rarely seemed like any kind of navigable route through the madness existed.

That's the prime concerning of every father right there! Fortunately could save 5 of my tween blue dressed girls before being stomped to death. I hope they find their mother, cause they are only gonna see their dad on the news tomorrow.
Audio was great. I feel like it matched the mood that your text description led me to expect.
I sort of instinctively though the goal was to get as far to the right as possible. I succeeded, but then went off screen. Then I realized I was playing the game wrong.
Well that was interesting. I didn't find the game that fun but the theme and the mood set by the music was well done. A nice spin on the theme so, well done.
I think that this game has a good message about the tolerance. A good thing would be to give the player the opcion to choose what flag he is taking (pro or against). The game would be the same but the message and the idea would be stronger without politic criticism.
Sweet entry. The graphics style reminded me somehow of where is waldo :) the music set an excellent mood. Only the controls felt a bit sticky but overall a big thumbs up. :)

Politics aside, why am I the monster? The mob seems more monstrous, killing me in front of my kids! Haha
