Arrow finds himself in need to win the elections at any cost.
But it's not as easy as it sounds.
First past the post, Borda count, IRV - will you be able to master many voting methods, to find the way to keep advancing against all odds, and finish all 18 levels?
Everything was made solo and from scratch (compo rules), in a 72 hour time span.
Music&sfx with BFXR, audacity and FL studio
Art with photoshop
Based on Arrow's Theorem, Primer youtube videos, and some voting theory sources.
Controls: Left click only!
Click on the map to place yourself on the political 2D map and advance through the puzzles.
Click on Reset to reset the level, if you couldn't achieve the goal. If you did, press next. That's all!
.
Change Log:
-As mentions in the comments, the UI was a bit off in full screen mode. I adjusted it so it would be playable on full screen aswell. (that also caused the placement bug discussed in the comments)
-Had the dialog box fixed for a faster, not repeating dialog - as people seemed to have really difficult time playing when it reappeared each time they reset the level.
.
_I think playing on the set resolution feels better, but if with the default size the screen is cut for you, and the resolution doesn't seem right - play on full screen ._
*If you've found this game interesting, I advise you to check out Arrow's impossible theorem and learn more about the subject!*
