I like the idea and simplicity to it but i don't get what's the final goal? I kept scheduling and i never ended. I kept loosing the numbers at the top and every week a fire a public office from a smoky room
I think you have a good base mechanically but i think you need a reason for me to reach.
Original idea for the theme and some funny scheduling events. The music is nice and the gameplay speed is paced is just right. I think it just needs some more graphics or picture events when you achieve an objective/score to give it some variety. Other than that, Good work!
Really fun idea of trying to balance 3 factions.
Got the 'wiped out by aliens' ending and the 'won re-election' ending - overall not bad work. I agree with previous comments that the impacts of your actions could definitely be expanded on. The gameplay was smooth and not buggy, which was a bonus.
I love this! I got my President of the Galaxy re-elected (though I also had the option to join the Xeno Empire by the end XD)
My only gripe about the interface is I think viable slots should highlight while you're dragging and dropping, not just hovering - i.e., if you pick up an event, the slots where that event can fit should highlight *before* you drag it over a viable slot in the timeline. There are also some bits of information I think could be clearer, like the icons indicating the rewards for attended events vs. penalties for missed events, and also the fact that faction alignment icons of the same color as an event blend in a bit with the background (maybe add a white border around the icons to make them stand out more?)
I liked this. I enjoyed the pace in which the camera panned and the days moved along. I liked the little puzzle of determining when I could add the appointments or not. I wish the appointments that took up two slots were a bit bigger, so it was clear it too up the two slots. I think with a bit more polish (i.e. better background audio, some sound effects, etc.) it could be a chill puzzly game. nicely done in a weekend :)
You can only schedule work from the very beginning of a period of time or never, which is very true and interesting. The proper work restrictions add to the fun of the game, and the weekly feedback allows me to keep playing. Good job!
