Obamapology: Term 2 by El Cabaro
After the events of Obamapology, Obama is called back to the Mystical Meadow to return peace to its denizens. They don't like it.
Our game is about good plans backfiring on you, and who better to convey this than poor Obama who gets ridiculed for everything he tries to do / doesn't do. Play the Flash version on this page!

All art was created using an old Epson scanner, felt, crayons, cardboard, paper, and whatever else we found laying around (like socks).
The ending is heavily condensed and we plan on releasing a post-Ludum version. The link will be found here once voting is over. Thanks for playing!

PROS: Everything else! The graphics are incredibly charming, the Ninji is cute, and the political humor isn't even remotely biting but it is funny. The ending is inane but in the best possible way.
It's hard to give you a score in graphics though, as there was a bunch of real photos that you probably didn't took yourself :/ Same with music, a lot of tracks obtained from different sources (although properly credited at the end).
Loved the humor in the game and it's one of the few entries that has managed to make me laugh so far. Awesome job! :)
TL;DR: THANKS OBAMA!
Charming game, I shed a single eagle-shaped tear. The "random bits of tat" look works out well.
Also, nice Bubsy reference B3
With the web player, the game stopped after finding the only collectible in the level where we responsible for global warming... freezing on the rebel people.
I restarted the game to see the real end!
I recognized the sound effects of RPG Maker! : D
WHY, OBAMA, WHY?
