cool game idea

alpharock6 2021-10-05 21:02

I made it a week! :D Nice concept, I found it a bit difficult to anticipate what would change since I couldn't really tell what the purple/green bars were at first. I love games like this, good work :)

Interesting game idea works quite well with the theme nice job

Cool Reigns-type game! It was not easy, but I was able to win!

Good concept. Wish there was more randomness and more of a system — feels like a proof of concept where only one path leads to success at the moment.

Interesting take on the theme with nice and pleasant graphics. I liked the idea and concept. Somehow I managed to win on the first try :joy: . I must be a born crisis manager :rolling_eyes:

To further improve the game, I think that adding some music and sounds to the game would have helped with the experience. Also I found it a bit odd to have the contextual information at the top far away from the selectable options at the bottom.

Cool game! i lost hard though. :D Really nice portraits and amusing text. Would have been even better if the status bars had labels e.g. on hover. Grats on your submission!

I learned I am a terrible ruler. 10/10 would inflation again.

Quite a fun game. I only found two ways of winning, and all the gameovers I had were because of bankrupt. Never found a way to lose because of diplomacy or justice. It would have been great if more decisions had an impact on the rest of the week and more branching

It is a game with great potential and i think the one who is behind this game got a good idea! The biggest problem is the difficulty, I couldn't get through the first week of the game. I tried every possibility and none have worked. Another problem is the lack of music and sound disign. It could really improve the game. I say it again! It got great potential! Continue working on it ^^

solid idea behind the game! the art really brought it through! i just think it could've been improved if there were more choices and if there were sound design. still, it was really well done.

The idea is cool, it would be great to see you develop this more outside of the jam, msuic would add to it as well as maybe adding more options to allow for more interesting situations.

beeguy 2021-10-09 18:56

Overall it was pretty solid but would have been nice if there were more choices and some randomization to make the game more interesting. The graphics were also pretty good. Well done.

Nice take on the theme. I tried to follow politicians in real life example, and ignore everything. That was fun :smile:

Nice idea, I lasted a week cause it was quite hard for me to anticipate the effects of my decisions. I was also missing some music or at least sound effects to make it more lively.

kantanloop 2021-10-10 19:32

Interesting idea for the theme! I liked the character portraits over some of the decisions that kinda let me know how it would affect the status bars. I like that you can just ignore everything too. Seems like the only way to lose is to run out of money? I know there were a couple of situations where a choice you made earlier gives you a new event later; it'd be cool if there were more branching events like that where I'd have to think more about my earlier decisions. Nice submission though!

Nice, I think show the option cost will better.
