Win the presidential race of planet Glorbus-12B in order to save their civilization from an alien invasion.! Battle against opponents with wit, confidence and charisma - or lack thereof!! Make yourself known by using your stats to influence voters, even doing a cool gesture! Go back to your Hub to plan the next debate, or visit the store to get some new moves or sponsors!

At the moment, the main debate loop is mostly functional, although could use more variety and UI. I'm happy with this funny little weekend project, though. I'll definitely add the missing features and update it over the next week or so. As of this release the planning and store feature doesn't function. Also, no endgame / invasion at the moment.

Enjoy : )

These aliens are really funny, but the UI could use some polish

Ahaha really thought this was funny. The combinations of the sounds and the animations/graphics really make me laugh. Think it would help a lot if the text was a bit clearer. Good job!

Only LD game that has made me laugh out loud so far. This game is such a trip.

I love the motion capture and the voice acting xD I am also glad you explained what was there and what wasn't :) Sounds were satisfying too!

This was hilarious, it felt like an actual presidential debate. Are the stats at the beginning used in the debate? if so, it would be nice to have some pointers about it in the UI, during the debate

I had a good time! It's funny, and I dig the animations. I'm excited for the shop to be added and upgrade some stats!

Pretty fun game! I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to your further development!

Fun game. I couldn't quite figure out how the scoring works, but I tried picking the funniest answers to the questions

Ty Victorson22 Apr 2026, 04:12

A funny concept, it was entertaining to see what lines would get said although I couldn't really pin down what would make one good. The main critique I have is to put some more work into the UI. Looking forward to seeing how you evolve the game!

Ma.... I'm alien.

What an interesting and abstract game. I like their dance.

sprell22 Apr 2026, 10:59

For what it was the concept is cool. Tried going full charisma, but did not feel very charismatic. In any case I can see potential for this.

Very silly animations, definitely would like to see this one expanded on!

好喜欢。。。
这舞蹈动作是怎么做的，太丝滑了！
配音辛苦了，听了之后感觉精神疾病都被治好了

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Translate: This might be the funniest game I’ve played this Ludum Dare! I lost the debate miserably, though... turns out I have zero charisma, haha :( But I had a blast trying! Really creative entry, thanks for the laughs!

Thank you @andrian ! Overscoped by quite a bit but super happy to see people enjoying it : )

As I said on stream, this really feels like a game that's doing its own thing, and I was very much along for the ride. I like the character design, LOVE the voice work and the bizarre dialogue is definitely weird in an intentional way. It feels like the game is enjoying being a little inscrutable.

I'm left with a lot of questions after this game... What were my stats doing? What determined the crowd responses? How should I be choosing my responses? Do certain responses go with certain gestures? Nevertheless it was fun to dive in at the deep end and let the game take me where it wanted.

I'd love to see what the Planning adds to the game in a potential future update!

colverok23 Apr 2026, 20:30

Liked narrative, sound and realism of this game!

Conduit26 Apr 2026, 05:48

I thought the responses and gestures were really silly and caught on to the gameplay loop rather quickly. I can see where this idea was heading and would love to see more! Thanks for making this!

apt_prose726 Apr 2026, 08:55

Fun and easy to play, great for any occasion.

IRKAR26 Apr 2026, 10:32

Very cool and fun game! Great job!

EllaS6 May 2026, 06:21

I finally understand how to properly debate!! This game changed my life. Scientists agree with me.

kiddie6 May 2026, 19:04

This is a funny one! Won the debate by being overconfident and burping in the audiences faces. They loved it!
