Pretty good game. However, when I played it initially I didn't really know whether to swipe left or right since the nation colours (red and blue) were the same thing as the accept and decline colours (also red and blue). I got confused when I was trying to accept a red nation's proposal whether to move it to the red or blue side.

Pretty fun, graphics are pretty good and has a nice satisfying swiping action, but feels a little but too similar to Reigns

Interesting game. I like how it was well polished and simple. However it gets repetitive after awhile.

Loved the newspaper at the end.

I think that this is a fun little choice game, I could see it doing well on a mobile platform where I could just sit and flick back and forth for a long time. It is a great set of factors to balance and have to choose between, making some decisions more interesting. I do think that the game could do with more decisions, I didn’t play for that long and started to see repetitions, and it may be more interesting if the decisions had effects on several different facets of the game, although that may require having more than just the 4-way pie and two neighboring countries to juggle.

I found it a bit difficult to determine how to sign the proposals at first, the drag it to the side mechanic is never explained and I thought that the two sides represented the neighboring countries. You could consider something more like an outbox/trashcan on the sides of the desk or some rubber-stamps akin to Papers Please. I also think that this game could have benefited a lot from a background music track. The sound effects were great for all the actions that I took but while I was reading the proposals it was very quiet. Overall, I thought that this was a great game, well done!

The game idea is pretty good, and the game is pretty fun to play. I would have liked a bit more contend. Overall a fine LD game.

Basically a Reigns clone, but a really good one!

Cool game. I had fun. I cant say anything bad about technical side, but there isnt much graphic, or sound anyway. On the other hand, gameplay feels so smooth and real, so I actually felt the pressure of beeing a president and the political responsibility!!! Great job guys!:)

I thought this was pretty cool, it ran well and was easy to understand. I would have preferred if the time could have stopped while reading input from the other factions, the first month I only got through 5 decisions. I thought it was really well thought through though, there were tons of different options and ways the game could have gone. One thing that I think would really help the game is a percentage counter that let you know where you were with the factions versus just a pie graph. Besides that though I loved it!
