As a government worker you live by the dollar. more specifically, you live to blindly give that dollar to any person who falls out of the sky! Match the color of the funds to the color of the civilians clothing while balancing your usage of the 3 different types of funds to succeed. Giving money from one fund will replenish the others, just don't let anybody wait too long or you'll loose funding everywhere!

Press ❎ and 🅾 to cycle through your funds, good luck!

I like the music, it is very fitting to the fast gameplay. It is a lot of fun, although defeat seems inevitable. I got to level 19 though. A solid entry!

Nice game! I especially like the neocon, Rush Limbaugh-esque interpretation of the theme. Fox News would approve!

got to level 21. the music is really nice, fits the game well. personally, i think the switching between currency was a little difficult. maybe when you get to one side of the menu and keep going, it would send you back to the other. or maybe that's the challenge? all in all, solid entry. great work!

Graphics are nice, like the concept. The movement seems a bit slow for something that should be stressful and fast

I love the art and music! Gameplay loop is simple enough and it gets more tactical as dificulty increases. I wish the was more to it than just getting more and more people on the board, maybe some kind of powerups. overall fun game, got to level 21 before losing terribly

Nice gameplay! got to level 21.
In my opinion the currency navigation is backwards from what I would expect. But that's just me.
+1 for pico 8
Congrats on the entry!
