I had a lot of fun destroying the world and not getting elected.
Nice game.

Not my kind of game really, but it had decent depth, and looked pretty good! Audio got repetitive after a while.

I was also really bad at it :P

Fantastic bit of satire and a competent game. Absolutely loved it!
Music was a touch repetitive, and the art wasn't brilliant, but those obviously weren't the main focus of the game, so really well done! ^^

I had loads of fun. Easy to play, easy to finish, humor was fun. A nice point : the names really communicated what the regions were so it was easy to keep track of who would like what. Top stuff.

This was really funny, and fit the theme very nicely. I thought that the dynamics between the different regions and managing your ratings was the best part. Your weakest part was probably your audio, but even that fit the game and added to the overall feel. Great job on the gameplay, this was awesome. :)

Whao, you really used your mind to make this game. You also made something new with Game Maker. It is really well made, music is efficient, and humour is really present.

Really, really good. And funny. Remarkable to have made this in such a short time. I got elected - by being a totally unprincipled arse ... oh wait ... ah I see what you ...

"Politician found to be nest of lizards in human skin". Brilliant, just like this game. Loved the art, loved the idea, simple but concise gameplay, fabulous humour and a nicely rounded end to it. Thought this was marvellous.

Solid entry! Got 109 on my first try. It's really easy to swing the votes in your favor, I guess that's pretty realistic. Top quality work!

Great Fun! Easy to learn and very funny. Would like to see a version with even more mechanics but for an LD entry this is really good.

I liked the idea and the writing was pretty sharp. It's broad political humor but I like that you highlight the complete bollockness of the terms "conservative" and liberal" with the 4 constituencies (my game actually contains the lines "End repression, vote liberal" and "End repression, vote conservative").

It was VERY easy. It was never anything but obvious to me what I should say. To me a game like this should be primarily about

A: Strategically spending resources.
B: interpreting what actions will get what response.

Neither really applies here, since it is fairly obvious how each region would respond. There were a couple that required a little bit of thought but nothing really difficult.

That being said I like the idea, the structure and the presentation very much. Good work!

Actually really witty. Definitely a cool game. I ended up tricking them all, haha.

I found that a good strategy is to work up a lukewarm appreciation among all districts, then just start focusing 100$ rallies on each one that didn't benefit from the television appearance.
