Just Politics by brantkings

[raw]
made by brantkings for LD25 (JAM)
This is our entry to LD25! Villiany? That sound like politics! So politics it is! Oh and patience on the link, the game should appear in a minute. If you see yourself waiting TOO much, a F5 will probably do the trick.

Hey! In our game you vacuum money as well, haha. Those reporters are a pain in the ass indeed!

Hi, The animations of the money-sucking is really nice, it felt very fluid and well animated. As dremelofdeath is saying, it feels really satisfying.

Fun game, I like the money vacuum! I think it would be good if you added an invincibility period after you are put in jail, since often you immediately get thrown in jail again with no chance to escape. Also, the reporters hang on to you while you are in jail!

Fun game, very funny, though I don't know what it says about governments. :P There's no way to lose though, which kind of makes it feel like less of a challenge and more of a grind.

Very well executed. Most addictive game so far, played it until the end.

I love the sucking animation and the music.

The only thing that I would personally change is that the upgrades are always the same. It would be nice if there were some new onesin other levels - especially if they changed the gameplay a little bit.

Oh, and the mayor's face when he gets a lot of money is hilarious.

The music is awesome! The maniacal laughter image is cool. Awesome concept.

Great game. The controls play smoothly and the animations are well made. Music fits well. Getting caught continuously was a little annoying though.

Awesome concept! And strangely addictive. I played through until the end and loved every second. It's a very simple idea but it's executed very well. The little touches make it great, like the way the pedestrians shake when the money comes out, and how the old ladies have different items. Great job all around!

This game was freaking awesome. I enjoyed the hell out of it, and I can't wait to see if you take it further.

Wanted to enjoy the graphics, but the instruction page was cut off on the right side and I could not start the game at this point. I was using Chrome on Windows 7.

@AdricZero yeah that is known to happen. In Firefox it should use the correct screen size and work fine.

@AdricZero It may be that you have zoomed out in your browser. Try pressing ctrl + or ctrl - to adjust the zoom.

Hahaha, cool game! Was totally fun. Reporters are a real PITA though. They can totally suck your reputation in a matter of seconds and if you are in jail you have no way to dodge them :/ Anyway, despite the flaws in a solid entry. Kudos!
