With 30 days left in the election, you need to earn as many votes as you can, to become...

The President of the United States of Omerica!

Drive around the ring-shaped country and do political stuff like:

- Run political ads
- Hold Rallies
- Get money from fundraising
- Visit disaster sites for free publicity

You decide if you want to stick to the issues (especially if you align with the local voters), or attack your opponent's weaknesses (which can potentially backfire).

At the end, the polls will determine who wins the Electoral votes for each state.

Good Luck!

Favorite entry so far! Really clever twist on the theme :>

this game is HARD
that being said, i really liked it. I will probably come back after the jam and try to win.

Solid game. Pretty loose on the theme I'd say, and it's suuuper hard. I played on both red and blue sides and with both moderate and polarizing candidates, and got annihilated every time. I didn't seem like the issue the states cared about mattered all that much? Still, it was fun and amusing. Great job. Also, really nice on the map, very clever.

Thanks @archimagus. Yes, the issues do matter quite a bit. :) I might tweak the difficulty down though. Thanks!

Clean interface, pretty funny and yeah a little hard as has been said but a nice entry. I like how the sound and animation of the votes work together

There doesn't seem to be much of a connection to the theme, but the game is really fun. I love running around proclaiming that I am the Memes Candidate.

Really fun game. But it's a bit weird that you can just spam the same ad all the time and always get more voters.

Nickleback concert, a true disaster.

This game was really interesting! I got demolished by my opponent, but I had fun exploring the content you put in there. The audio was amusing and the UI was really solid.

This was a really solid entry, It's a shame you don't have more reviews!

This is a great idea ! I'd love to see this game with some sort of campaign, like going for a small town election with only a few districts, all the way up to become president of the earth. Great job ! I had to replay because I didn't know I could move from state to state. Adding random texts/names was a superbe idea.

Definitely a very unique take on the theme! That said... it is not easy at all. I had a pretty hard time with it, but I guess that goes to show how complicated real politics is. After this review I think I'll give it another go as it was pretty dang fun

Quite a fun entry, I agree with the comments about the difficulty but I think how hard it is adds to the enjoyment, at least for me it does. I agree with @thegreenworm, a campaign style option would do well for this, allows for more areas, issues and Nickleback concerts. I'll adding this one to my play again list. C.

Ah, that was a fun entry and an interesting take to the theme! I loved how you could attack your opponent on silly reasons, and claim you are the right candidates for dad jokes, somehow it seemed reaaly close to reality :laughing: It was also pretty hard, attacking your oponnent costs so much aha! Also it took me a while to understand that you could move to other states but only on the one next to you. That said, I still had a lot of fun playing this, well done!
