Nice one "U.N. Convention on All Weapons", very creative.

Interesting concept although in the end it seems all about moving your mouse as fast as possible. Though I may have missed some more details as I did not make it past the first level.

Also to add: when I first clicked this game when I was on my phone at the bus, it loaded to 70 % and then did not start on an iPhone with iOS 8 (using the default safari browser).

I liked how you twisted the theme.
I don't know if that's me or what but I find your game very difficult (that's why you add cheats I guess).

I really liked the idea, but I found the game immensely difficult. I tried for about 20 minutes just to beat the first level, and I always failed around day 5 from the voting. Might be me that suck or missed something. I did not want to use cheats, as.. well I don't like them.

My difficulties aside I found myself enjoying the game, good job.

Clever twist on the theme. I wish there was more to it than just making sure you were bribing everyone until you needed to reduce votes.

Interesting concept. It almost felt like a eurogame. Great job!

Interesting strategy approach to the theme, but definitely coming a little too strong with the concept - a tutorial may elucidate the proper strategy to win in this game. The moving bars as well didn't really provide a proper gauge of how well I was doing in each region.

Difficult, but interesting and fun. Nice twist on the theme.

Really cool concept - I love seeing strategy games in Ludum Dare, and the progressive mechanics introduced on each level were interesting.

It's really, really difficult, though - an easier rampup over the first few levels would help a lot, I think.

Very interesting politic meta game but it's still rather difficult.

Wow, this is a really hard game. For judging purposes you probably should have tuned it down a bit. I got past the first level by just focusing on keeping 3 countries in the red. Blackmail everyone at the start to gain money, then keep three countries in red and just let the other two go blue. This is risky because there's no indicator exactly where the red to grey crossover threshold is. If any country goes grey then you lose.

I liked that it made me think about strategy quite a bit. I tried to use the cheats, but they don't work on the web version.

This is either way too difficult or just way too fast. I need a pause button.
