Does the executable leave any data behind? I mean, it's great that you only can play it once, but... I don't want any remnants (cookies, ...) on my computer.

Apart from that, it's a nice text-adventure (I believe that's how you call the genre^^)

I like how majority of my gameplay was practically damage control. Simple but I had fun with it. Could have done a bit better with the font, had a bit of trouble reading it at some points.

Really liked it! Reminded me of Democracy 3 in a simpler way, giving the player only one chance instead of a lot. Cool stuff!

Yeah, should probably point that out - there's leftover data in %localappdata%, if you want to delete that once you're finished with the game.

Nice idea at all. The font was a little bit hard to read. I know I also had no time for my game, but also in your game music would have been very nice.

Good portrayal of the lose-lose situation that politics usually represents.

Oh man the choice of font is really hurting my eyes and makes it hard to read the text. I think a different font would be better since there's a lot of text. Other than that it's pretty fun. :)

Also, I guess I did pretty well even though I sold arms to a foreign country!

The font is a bit hard to read, but that's a pretty interesting idea. :) Also interesting how we both used the theme the same way. :D

A fun little politics simulator. The results of my playthrough just show how *sarcasm* awesome *sarcasm* a politician I would be.

Font was hard to read, but made me feel like I was playing a political pixel art game. Great bureaucratic feel. THANKS OBAMA. Also this game is actually called THANKS OBAMA (or whatever the brit equivalent is).
