Defeat the capitalist menace with the weapons of the workers' struggle: money and propaganda.
A top-down shooter in the style of the Commodore 64.

Downloads for standalone executables for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux are available at the bottom of the itch.io page. (The Mac OS X and Linux builds are untested. Please let me know if there are any issues with them.)
----------------------
Update April 22, 2015:
pvwradtke informed me of bug with the Linux version where the first level can't be completed. I wasn't able to reproduce the problem in Ubuntu 14.04, but noticed the quality settings were wrong in the build. I have uploaded new standalone executables that should fix the build quality, and has some logging that may help troubleshoot the issue.

A solid entry all around :P Good luck!
pvwradtke: thanks for letting me know about the bug with the Linux build. I have no idea what could cause that, but I do have access to an Ubuntu box so I'll take a look when I get a chance.
I don't have anything explicitly negative to say about this. It's quite a complete package as it is. There's a clear level progression, variety between the different types of people and what they're converted by, then things like using your converts to spread propaganda, and how even that is subverted by enemies that deconvert your allies. All of this for the benefit of the political sub-theme.
