IMPORTANT! READ ME!

-------------------

- This game makes you express opinions on sensible matters : patriotism, healthcare, kids education, race and religions...

------------------------

What Kind of game is it?

------------------------

A narrative game.

You are facing an audience, and need to impose your ideas. Start with a friendly chat in a bar, and end up rulling the country.

--------------

Known problems

--------------

- For some reason most of the sounds are not playing AT ALL in the release version. And those who are playing don't fade correctly and stop randomly. I will investigate that first thing in the morning, I believe it is the kind of bug i am allowed to fix after the deadline.

- Graphical glitches if you are too quick to click

-----------

Tools Used

-----------

Haxe and HaxeFlixel

Ash (Entity Component framework for haxe)

Freesounds.net - sounds (not running for the sound categorie)

Inkscape and Paint.net - graphics

-----------

Personal note

-----------

Sight... 11 compo entry in a row, and I break it with a Jam entry. Out of nowhere!

I only started to work on this game sunday, around noon, so except for the sounds (which are CC0, despite not even playing... Grrr) this is pretty much what I would have submitted in the Compo.

But still, a sad face for the broken streak => :(

A cool concept!

Interesting concept, but the rules of combining icons are unclear. I end up with gray screen and don't know, what to do.

Cool concept but i didn´t really understand what i was doing.
Other than that it seemed really cool!

I'm not sure what's going on in this game. I guess it's too smart for me!

I'm not sure if I'm telling exactly what they want to hear, but the concept is pretty cool :D

I like the idea of a political manipulation game, but I can't tell what's going on at all.

Hard to learn how it works but it was a clever idea.
