It looks really interesting, but the game board keeps scrolling up for me, making it unplayable.

clever gameplay and sweet graphics, i like!
@OrangePop: I never had this problem, which version are you using?
Cool idea, shame you ran out of time to add a win state or any music but it's a good effort
Nice little game! I took me several attempts to actually figure out what was going on, though. It could be nice to have some more examples on the instructions.
Not just good, but educational as well! :)
Could use some finishing touches. Good job!
I love to see games like this that show political and cultural flaws. This one excellently illustrates the problems of gerrymandering - nice pun by the way - and I enjoy playing simulations like these. This was a very innovative interpretation of the theme as well.
It's a cool game, I liked it when I knew how to play but I feel it needs a win state and sound to improve it.
Fun to play! I was kinda confused as a win scren is missing but I had fun playing it anyways!
Very interesting from an educational perspective. Could obviously need some more polish, but still it's a solid simulation/game! Nice work!
Would be great if you could check out our game as well!
Having Problems opening the Site my Anti-Virus blocks me off :\
@Osaft: I think it's just unknown to the AV because it's hosted on my personal site. So they block it by default. :-/
Oh yeah! This is a very clever board game. It is potentially quite deep (but it's hard to tell how deep a game is, really). I don't know any opening strategy, but as the game develops, it becomes possible to look ahead and plan some moves. I feel that certain go-like aspects emerge. E.g. I had a couple of "miai" moments where I was happy because two moves were equivalent, so if the computer took one, I could take the other.
Also nice commentary on the state of politics :D. And I like the art style.
intstructions are pretty bad and verbose. Theres no clear indication of what things do or what your objective is if you don't read instructions. lackluster end(theres no sheep is victorious!)
GREAT concept! As a non-us living person gerrymandering has never been explained so clearly to me. Kudos for that!
The idea is a pretty original interpretation of the theme and the graphics are nice but the game sadly lacks ingame feedbacks to understand fully how it works and to display scores. Hope it will be added soon
i _think_ i won. but i am not sure :D
One of the more intelligent game I saw in this LD. Good work.
I liked the art style and the political undertones
Great game and interesting concept ! So sad that their is no winning trigger but great job nonetheless!
Really cool idea. I'd love to see this developed further.
This could be a great tool for education.
Nice graphics! Some effects and win/lose-screen would be appreciated though. And highlighted the last move of oponent!
No link to the theme whatsoever.
Thanks for making this :)
@StaNov: Thanks for trying it out. Well, the game is about shifting the shape of electoral districts, so it fairly fits the theme.
i didnt understand the rules, maybe add more example
Looks interesting but I wasn't sure if I was doing it right :/
