This was a fun and very nicely done game, visuals and music are very good. Now I have to take care of my finger.
looks are clean and smooth, nice
Fun game and challenging. Finger gets tired after a few playthroughs
my finger and my mouse doesn't like, but me, its fine :) And... i don't win ?? screen_didactor.jpg
Very fun! But my hand is dead... the_dictater_victory.PNG
So many fingers were harmed in the making of these reviews (haha). Thanks everyone for trying our game out! @ramou sorry our game cheated you out of a win screen :c
"You're just mashing it now" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7_P2ygkAwU?t=7s
My finger... oh.... The game is great!
After 5 minutes of hard trying, I had to make a click script - just to save my finger from certain death in next 5 minutes.
Cool style and visuals, but unfortunately not the best idea to make a clicker game where you have to spam your mouse, since we've all been mashing to finish our games already. I think if the clicks did more healing for the states it would be bearable, but my hand hurt after 30 seconds :/
Looks cool and is nicely done, but that Mouse "Mashing" is not my thing really ;)
It's a nice idea, but the "button smash" makes the game not very funny, but it's still a great game
@farhan-qureshi Thanks for your feedback, reducing the number of clicks players has to make is going to be one of the first things we look at when we continue this project. Based on all the feedback (and sore fingers) we've been getting, I think it's a good starting point!
Awesome conect and art direction! Loved the potato puns and artistic coherence!
Fun game, cool take on the "running out of power" theme. I think the click mashing gameplay works for this type of game, but the addition of more mechanics would've made the clicking a little less unbearable.
I love the art style! Nice and bright colors. The game is very in line with the theme. The only problem is... I think I broke my mouse.
Cool game and nice art, but my finger hurts now and my blood pressure is higher!
Love the art direction! Specially how the map is laid out! Very good pacing and smoothness overall!
I thought this game was simple but fun!
I can't handle this much clicking, lemmie go get my turbo mouse. But in all seriousness this was a fun little game with simple mechanics and a cool art style.
Ooof, my hand really hurts after that. Good game though!
The game looks so nice, the menu and everything si really polished. So Props for that. The humor of it is nice.
- It looks really nice - It plays nicely - Has a great humor
- Poor mouse - There's not much gameplay - It doesn't fit the theme really
But great job guys.
A really interesting take on the theme! This game really stands out with its quirky look and quality music. The gameplay, however, doesn't have a lot of depth, and left my finger begging for forgiveness... It'd be nice if we could place the police where we wanted (with cooldown so we can't place it again and again without waiting), and some other gameplay mechanics would make for a very compelling game. As it stands,it has the looks,but not really the substance.
Still, it was a very well done game! Great entry!
I see what you did there, a game about potatoes that you have the "mash" the mouse. Anyways, as many people have said before, it looks and sounds nice, but there isn't much to do, after a little while I just used a macro to see the end.
(@sebastian-m @jsmcag @joskineide ... Thanks for your feedback! We plan on going in and adding some of the features we wanted but ultimately cut, due to the time constraints, after the contest. @jsmcag, I like that idea. We'll have to look into possibly doing something like that as we continue the development!
Very funny game. The artstyle is incredible. Congratulations to the team!
Great graphics, music is fitting, potatoes are always good for a laugh (xD). But I started clicking for about a minute, then took one look at how much MORE I'd have to click and was like "Nope." Clickers aren't my thing, but I think it would feel better to scale the action in some way, so it doesn't just become a click-fest, like let us take smaller territories and keep them without having to click to much and then move up to bigger territories once we've established enough 'power points', someting like that.
Also consider "...and trying to uproot your regime!" XP You're welcomeee
I had the same issue as @Ramou, but other than that a very funny and polished (if a little shallow gameplay-wise) take on the theme!
@prettylucky thanks for your feedback, your puns are spot on haha!
My mouse now hate me but it was really funny :D
Nice graphics and audio, congrats.
Windows only, shame. I really wanted to play it :(. Please make builds for other platforms too next time.
Fantastic presentation and graphics. My arthritic finger hates me even more now.
