I like the concept but it is very difficult to understand what is going on when playing the game.

Great fun game for the politically motivated person ;)

Yeah I see how it can be hard to understand at first dtroyt. Basically the values on all of the cards show you how much that card is affecting the statistics right now. If you decide to change it, the signs of the numbers with flip. For example if a card is giving you +1.2 education, after flipping it would give you -1.2 education.
The goal is to flip cards in such a way that they affect the 15 minor statistics which in turn affect the 3 major statistics.

Great game, clean graphics. Playing it is a great method to unwind. ;)

Cool game! Is it the differences shown when you can "Change", "Not Change", or the current active causes?

Congratulations, no family has to starve anymore! Here is your scores: food: 0% what!?
Not quite sure what happend, my food levels would drop but no one was starving for some reason. Maybe it just meant I didnt have any accumulated food?
Liked the game idea, was rather similar to democracy game :)

@oskardevelopment the values shown on the cards are the values in the current card's state. If you decide to switch the card the values will be simply negated.

@AzureAspect yeah there are some glitches like that. What most likely happened was that all your others stats were positive enough to win the game for you even if the food was low. This game obviously needs some balancing but I couldn't fit proper calculations into that short period of time.

Thanks for the comments guys :)

A very enjoyable game!

The specific relationship between the minor stats and the major stats was not always clear, but was still intuitive enough that it did not detract. It seemed to take a lot more effort to get the bad ending, than to get the good one though.

The graphics and interface was impressive, and the writing was great!


Also, thumbs up for using LibGDX.
