Seemed like it would be interesting if I knew what to do, but I had no idea how to play, even after reading the instructions multiple times

masterwork
the height of the craft
Very realistic!
Very funny
I'm sure you'll upset some people with this one, but man am I glad you went for it. That was quite simply amazing.
What. The. Shrek.
Pros:
-Freaking Donald Trump!
-Funniest game I've ever played
-Love your take on the theme :P
Cons:
-Hard to understand
This feels too much like novelty shovelware at first glance for me to feel the motivation to put the time in to understand and play it. Sorry.
BEST GAME
Trump comb over super power.. didnt see that coming
That just happened. Feels surprisingly deep for what I though would just be a comedy effort.
100% accurate. The gameplay is a little one sided once you get the gist of it.
Trump is funny.
This was way too much fun. Can't believe you made this inside 48 hours. Kudos.
The music + DT rapping = awesome.
Does it seem to anyone else that this game is a bit trumped up?
Also, the wall wouldn't work. Mexico would start sending their olympic pole vaulting drug dealing rapists at us.
Masterpiece!! So funny!
Funniest game so far.
That was amazing.
Liked the soundpiece
THIS IS DEMOCRACY AT ITS HEIGHT. I had no idea what I was doing, but still did it for 5 minutes
Bit hard to wrap my had around.
I have no idea what's going on, but I was very happy listening to the music and pressing spacebar!
Very good art style which adds a realistic effect.
FROM THE DEV:
If you don't understand what to do - this is a political sandbox for you to experiment with different strategies. Just make sure that orange bar on the left in the poll results section keeps increasing.
Try different things and see how they affect your ratings. I've added extra descriptions of what to do in the game description, but I'd recommend just trying things and have fun discovering what kind of effect they have on voters to come up with your campaign strategy.
SIMPLE BRUTE FORCE STRATEGY: move around and shoot your tweets (Spacebar) at Republican voters (those little red signs) and Undecided voters (signs with black "?") to convert them Trump (orange voters). You should see your poll results (on the left) go up if you convert the voters fast enough. Get the TRUMP line to 40%+ and stay there for 30 seconds to win.
Read the spoilers after playing the game, must say I didn't expect that depth for the mechanics. However, I did just brute force my way through the game, holding down space and moving around the map.
This is the kind of game I could see going on Last Week Tonight or something :)
This s quite possibly the best thing anyone has ever made ever.
Also someone else made a Trump related game: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-33/?action=preview&uid=40468
LOL, I love it so much. You should put the web version on Newgrounds and Kongregate, and make some ad money from it. Last time I checked every 1,000,000 plays was worth around $1000. So you too could become officially rich! But more importantly you need to share this with the world.
Hello Fellow Trump-Dev. I like how we both went for the 'hair destroying things' angle, very nice.
Much Trump

11/5 humor
PLEASE tweet this to @realdonaldtrump! God damn hilarious. 9000 peppers out of a pepper.
Hilarious! I love it.
I feel like I have a deeper understanding of American politics.
Very creative entry, though rather confusing to keep track of everything. :D
Nice work, quite difficult to work out how to win
Well that was interesting... great game, really funny and I must admit I like building walls too
This is amazing. Excellent use of the theme.
Funny, but seems impossible to win!
Amazing.
Echoing a previous comment: "Feels surprisingly deep for what I thought would just be a comedy effort."
I am not American, but I know who this Donald fellow is. I think the sound bites work really well, but was a little too complicated so I was trying to hard to concentrate on what I was doing rather than taking in what was going on (if that makes sense?)
Great effort though, glad to know that this dude is not representative of all Americans too ;)
Wow! That was the scariest combover I have ever seen. :-O Clever idea and well put together.
Masterwork, truly a piece of gaming art in a way. xD
Creative Sectors: Kardfogú
There are no words for how hilarious this is... 10/10
The tweets and quotes were a great idea.
Hahahaha, very fun game! Voting games should be developed, thank you!
Funny, and a bit more depth than I was expecting!
This Game is really so Innovation!
Very unique!
Super funny game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/wEgI5I5KLKY
I also included your game in an article of my favorites from this jam and added a trophy to your Ludum Dare profile!! :) http://fireside.gamejolt.com/post/jam-favorites-ludum-dare-33-part-2-jbncejqm
