Graphically really cool! The idea is nice, too bad it takes too long between elections, that makes the core loop boring too quickly :/

I believe I would have made both a lousy driver and a lousy politician, the citizens didn't like me so much on my first game. I got reelected, but then the game crashed. Then I felt like a true politician. Great job! 👍 BTW Is the number of tomatoes somehow linked to the environment bar? As in, more vegetables on the trees => more on the road?

@Lucien Catonnet thanks bruh! Yeah 5 minutes may be too long... But it's the average time, with the current game balancing to have a decent looking/sized city, so we had stick with it for the jam version (;

Thanks for your feedback!

@Damienp oh! that means it's not that easy. Great! But it also means that it's broken. Not great :(

The tomatoes hurt your popularity bar, but the feature was broken on the first jam version, I fixed it on the next day but you may have played the first one :)

Thanks a lot for your message dam <3 <3

This was fun to play, good concept, well-drawn graphics. It would be nice if there was some kind of balance indicator around the player sprite, rather than needing to take eyes off the road to check the top of the screen all of the time. Great job!

Yep it's a good idea! We should consider that for the post-jam version ^_^

Thanks a lot for playing and your feedback @Smiling Cat Entertainment! (;

Interesting mix of genres and cool pixel art! I made it til reelection, at first game seemed too easy, but after tomatoes appeared it became challenging) It would be great if you add another pieces on the road so player decides what to build first(ex. school, hospital, shop) depending on citizens' needs)

@DiFFtY Please note I play on Linux, so a crash isn't so unexpected :)

Cool concept! I really liked playing as a cool cat politician (excellent artwork).

I found the time between elections a bit long and I could have used some music during the game to add to the mood. The fact that I had to change my priorities multiple times throughout to focus on different resources made the driving task quite a [bill](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/motherducker) more interesting.

Nice graphics! I included it in my Ludum Dare 41 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgRYnPldaL4
