Nicely done, definitely a unique idea. The animations on the dictator were great, really sold the tone.

Nicely done, definitely a unique idea. The animations on the dictator were great, really sold the tone.
I enjoyed playing this, I love that the fate of your home country can come down to having ice cream. Very on theme, great face animations too!
I was able to survive the nuking (at least for another month)
Story and overall mood fits well given the current events happening in the world! I loved the artistic, detailed qualities of the intel and the deep psychological analysis that I had to perform in order to get the neccessary information :smirk: Impressive technically with polished graphics and working TV! While short, I enjoyed this short exchange that enabled me to delay the inevitable.
Respect for the detailed manual and ambidexterous controls.
I like the concept - I would totally play a longer game with this concept, something with the mechanics of"Papers, Please!" but more lighthearted and with tounge-in-cheek tone - sounds interesting!
I would love to see the "writing" part explored more in this concept - the setting, audio and graphics set the mood wonderfully but it left me hungry for more!
Unfortunately relevant game in more than one way... But at least it's funny! Really loved the visual style and VO :D I wish there were some kind of randomization. Or even better, an active research phase. Great game overall!
PS: I'm tweeting about the games I play from this jam. Here is this one: https://twitter.com/TheAntonSem/status/1511798379394867205
Hilarious game - and quite polished too! The scrawled writing and coffee stains, the reinforced concrete 'office', the period-accurate devices - all very well rendered.
All that for just 30 more days in the sun... Great entry!
funny dialog and the animation on the dictator was superb! thanks for making the game.
Great job. Loved the idea and facial animations.
Pretty unique, I liked it man, good job!
You clearly have an excellent concept to make a full, great, narrative game. The tone is amazing and I'm really glad to see those kind of satiric yet hilarious game in a jam. Excellent work!
Awesome wordplay in the title :) And cool jam game, i really had fun playing it! Great dictator's face animations. They create tension, cause you can't be sure if he liked the answer until the final moment (at least till you know your dictator well). P.S. Liking turtles turnes out to be a mistake -_-
The facial animations were pretty funny. We enjoyed that part the most :)
Thanks everyone for trying our game! Please report any bugs you may find as well. The game is so short, though. Maybe we managed to create the first bug free game. :)
Hey, I also made game about a dictator!
Love your take on it. It's pretty small but I enjoyed every bit of it. Graphics are great, the core mechanic of trying to understand the drawings on the board in 15s is really fun (the drawings are top-notch btw), the dictator's animation and voiceover are also very-very well done! Very polished and fun experience!
I was recording my playthrough of your game, but it kinda took a lot of resources so the recording's like 1FPS :sweat_smile: Well, you could still hear the commentary so here's a link just in case https://youtu.be/xAmitsB_F9k
A great execution of a fun and quite original idea. Gave me "Papers please"-vibes in the best way!
Thanks @caudatecoder ! I enjoyed your whole video, fun to see the other games too. :)
Weird but fun! A little disapointed that each day was the same, but I love the concept and how to gather information to survive ! (I'm happy to have been to the end of it)
Very unique submission. Could totally build on it. Keep it up!!
Nice work, love this take!
Very nice graphics (including the drawings), facial animation and sounds.
The humor is definitely this game's biggest strength, along with the audio and visuals. It's a pity there isn't any more content.
Just a nitpick - it would be nice to be able to skip the dialog.
Great job!
Cool Game
Nice twist on the theme. At first I didn't realize the significance of the board in the back, but I eventually figured it out. I wish there were more decisions or rooms with hints, once I knew all the answers were on the board, it wasn't as challenging. Good game!
Old Joseph is amazing) Always imagined he's looking exactly like in your game :) Good job!
Clever part #1: The name got me to click. Pretty simple otherwise.
Great, man. Awesome idea with good realism point. Loving turtles is inevitable
Graphics is nice
Really funny take on this! I actually kinda liked how the observations were sketched out poorly. It immersed me more in my role. I did want a little bit more detail to the bunker. Honestly, great humor, funny take on the theme, and a pretty simple and easy to understand game. Good job!
Quite a nice little game, the dictator got quite a funny personality, and the gameplay felt original and in the right scope for a jam! Great job this time around! Cheerz!
good entry indeed, especially the graphics!
The graphics look really nice and I thought the hand drawn intel was great xD I was pretty confused about what to do and then everything exploded. So I think I upset the man on the tv haha.
But overall, well done!
