Make the right choices, balance your nation's wealth, population, and food supply. Make your nation the strongest in the land. Make your nations people happy.
Make your nation GREAT.
*NOTE*: This game doesn't have a win state. The only goal is to survive for as long as you can. It does have an ending, though, I don't want to spoil it, so let's just say: you'll definitely know when the game ends / you lose. :)
I liked this a lot! I like it's a super casual strategy/role-playing game. Maybe I didn't get far enough, but it never seems to lead up to anything though? Anyway, nice :)
Pretty good game, though I felt like I was losing only because there were certain cards that didn't show up / exist. The production values were good though, and I played a few games. I think the framework is strong, I'd play a deeper version for sure.
This is a clever idea, but the random effects are SO random that it seems like you have to play for a very long time to have a chance of the proper combinations showing up.
It seems possible to have 3-5 negative effects happen in a row, and no real way to avoid it. At one point I think I got the same effect 3-4 times in a row.
Food, power, and love are especially hard to increase. Just now, I went through 30 events in a row with ZERO events that had the possibility of increase food.
It's especially bad because one effect makes you choose between food and love. Love is very hard to increase, but if you lose food instead you're losing love anyway because of hungry people. So I try to focus on food first, but as mentioned, you can easily go through 30+ events without even having a chance to boost food, and there are MANY chances to lose food instead.
Just once I managed to get through the first round with all positive values, but that was because of luck, and then it went downhill because of the balance. How did you manage to beat this game yourself? :(
Simple and straightforward game, liked the choices and effects, as well as the final results. Audio felt a bit basic. Had fun playing this multiple times though, so you got me there!
Awesome game concept, found this from looking at the youtube video from jupi! As the game proceeded, i was wondering if you could lose or win the game. My people hated me all the time (how do i get more love?). But it only meant that I would get one population drop every turn..not really a big problem.
Great idea, it's like Europa Universalis realm decisions made arcade :D. It would be even more interesting if we had limted time for making decisions :>.
This was very fun! I was expecting some silly game but instead it turned out to be pretty cool. Shame there's not a whole lot of choices to make, and most of them are repeated. Loved the status updates though, really made it feel like what you were doing was making more of a difference than changing numbers. Graphics are a bit simple for me but complement the game, and audio is awesome. Well done!
[ETC from Creative Sectors]: I like this way of approach to the theme, it's like a voting machine with real world problems. I found it very entertaining for a while, then a lot of negative events appeared before I could fill the last line, Love into positive or greenish state. One important thing I learned with this game is that you never let Power affected and keep it at least one green, to go on continously. I really like the 8-bit atmosphere you made for this game it really goes well with the music and I love that you used JavaScript technology to create it.
Very nice entry. I kind of figure that the point of the game is that you can't win. I'm all for that. But it would have been nice if the illusion of the possibility of managing the country was a little stronger. Basically coming down to having more cards and just making sure that there's a general surplus of negative effects. I played a few cycles and it might be I was unlucky but I never got any chance to gain power. Right off the start I lost one and then I never saw any +1 power card at all. Good entry though.

Nice concept. Too bad it gets repetitive after a while, but I still had fun :D

The music was really nice and the game tended to also be very funny. I liked it a lot. Nice work! :)
