Maverick by Madball
You get only one man to bring the peace!
There is 2 endings to find. Enjoy!
#NoKill
Here is some help in case you have problems:
* Once you get a message "(I think I can go home and write a letter...)" you can go home and write a letter. But don't forget to save before you do it.
* You can understand how many points does a color give by a liking scale. It's something like ":) Red Green Yellow Blue :(". In this case red gives +2, green gives +1, yellow gives -1, blue gives -2. White is an unknown color.
* You discover likings by asking. You don't have to discover them all though.
* To get into the castle, you should be directed to either the minister or the king.

I both liked the persuading and the asking mechanic, although both seemed a bit too random for my choice. And an option to rotate the tiles for persuasion would have made it a little bit more engaging.
@zorfmorf: have you tried entering the castle after you persuaded everyone? If you can't, you missed somebody.
If you want to do a post-compo version, maybe a tutorial would help people understand how the minigames works (It took me a long time to figure out where to click in the asking minigame in order to only have one circle left). I'm amazed that you created so much content in such a short time. Congrats!
Just got the bloody ending, gonna try and get another one.
The puzzles are engaging and challenging enough and the music is really nice.
Once you get the hang of it though, it's a really good game!
Cool puzzle idea; it is pretty neat, but it got pretty repetitive after awhile doing the same thing over and over again, not to mention it wasn't unusual for it to be next to impossible to continue on a puzzle without losing points.
But overall good entry with lot of things to do ;)
