This game is so funny, I loved playing it. It would be wonderful to have different audio for different parts of the game!

Aww, a bit disappointing that it got stuck at Tax Day!

Hilarious game, though!

For some reason I was a rather unpopular senator, can't imagine why! haha A very witty game! I liked the music as well. Great job :)

Daring and unapologetic, I had a few chuckles!

This is like a third game about tax evasion I've seen this jam. :d

I think this is the fifth tax fraud based game, I've played for this jam, it was very fun to be corrupt, that was very cool.

The "Pizza Bell Wants You" e-mail has frozen my game twice now, might be a bug...

The idea is really cool, I love it! The art is good, and the humor is amusing.

Pizzabell emails keep ending my runs before i can finish them properly! But other than that, really clever game! Actually laughed at the prayer section and "vitality for my enemies."

@dkmk100 I fixed PizzaBell if you want to try again lol. Appreciate the feedback!!

dkmk100 2022-04-05 21:42

I'll give the game another shot now, thanks! Another quick piece of feedback would be to look into a fullscreen button on the web version, the rest of the page can be distracting and ruin the immersion.

Very good and funny writing. Almost every joke hit just right :ok_hand: I loved God being confused when you wish for vitality for your haters when you have low morality! I didn't really understand how I could have avoid death, thoug. I think even if it's done as a joke, it has a good educational aspect with how politics is more about your relationship with other politicians and your status than actual politics. Once again, very good writing.

Great job, I had a good time and it kept me entertained for really long! :D

Super cool game. I found a bug though during the stock section on day 3 (or 4 I forget) where there's a button called 'h' and you can't click it so there's no way to progress. Other than that it's a surprisingly deep and polished game.

dkmk100 2022-04-05 21:58

This game totally gives me frog fractions vibes lol

@nexade Thanks for the feedback! I finally fixed the mythical h button if u want to try it again lol

nexade 2022-04-06 04:13

@notapollogising Thanks, I replayed the game and I now appreciate how it's a little bit random every playthrough.

I watched your game, it's good! If you work a little more time on the graphics it will be amazing! Good luck with development!

bougiebirdie 2022-04-07 22:28

At first I thought it was whacky enough that Jimbert won as an independent, then I saw it was setup for scathing commentary of the first-past-the-post system :rofl:

I regret to inform you that the mythical h button has returned in the web version, but I still had fun!

We are thinking about the same stuff, man! https://ldj.am/$287038 The theme for our game is the same, immediate 5 stars. Tax Fraud is gamer

frosty 2022-04-09 21:27

I've been participating in game jams for like 15 years now, and this is the most I've ever laughed playing an entry. =) Awesome job!

applestreet-games 2022-04-09 22:58

Hilarious game! Thank you for sharing.

simba 2022-04-10 01:33

I don't care what anyone else says, this game here is a masterpiece. Trust me, I'm a good guy. =P

This is exactly what happens in the real senate. I'm amazed at the realism!
