Did you use the Additional Theme(s) ?
The Addition Theme(s) where used!
Give a quick overview of your game, and how you worked the theme into it.
Its an action game where you are a black sheep at a republican white sheep rally. You need to convert the white sheep to Democrats and save democracy. I only made a small nod to the banana wildcard in the art.

As non-Americans, we don't typically find ourselves the focus of this type of political humor, but we'll try to offer some constructive feedback nonetheless.The imitation of Trump's voice was amusing, as were the slogans seen on protest banners. We are not sure how this game fits in the theme, but maybe we are missing something. The sound design was a standout feature, while the graphics effectively conveyed symbolism, such as depicting voters as sheep and illustrating how easily they can be swayed. Overall, nice effort!
Thank you for playing! Yeah I realize it may be difficult to grasp the theme for non-Americans. Though tackling European or other politics abroad would probably have been even more hard to scope for a gamejam. I figured the more absurd I could make it the less it would offend others. Regarding how the it fits the theme, "You shouldn't be here" it's kind of a racial play on the theme being that 99% of MAGA Trump supporters are white and certainly the ones at his rally's... So sending a "Black" Sheep to a "White" sheep Maga rally is the "You shouldn't be here" play on the theme :) I hope that makes sense!
I didn't understand most of it, maybe cause i'm not from USA. But it was definitely funny.
I also got stuck close to the end (i guess), when i was talking to the sheeps in the chaos and the elephant ended with a blue hat but with the number above yet.
Yup that seems to be the bug that makes you get stuck. You don't need to get all the sheep just enough for the elephant to talk to him. Ahh if I only had another day of playtesting :) Don't we all wish!
I got stuck somehow when I talk to the elephant and it simultaneously did the minigame while that sheep is fleeing.
Well at least I have saved Democracy.
The length of that speech makes me question if this or banana bandit should win the best sound of the jam 😆
You got stuck even with the Filibuster "F" key?
I actually have an alternate audio track if you turn off the speech toggle in the bottom right of the game.
Yep, I just learned the Filibuster from the comments after getting stuck then I tried pressing it but I was still stuck.
So I just restart the browser and play again.
Apparently, there is a bug where you trigger the sheeps minigame and then trigger the elephant at the same time and it gets you stuck. This is because the game forces you to stand still when triggering the minigame and I didn't account for the player to be able to do both at the same time. I just need to make sure that the sheep stops moving if they are returning to their original position and only one minigame can be triggered at time. You're the third person I've seen come across it, but now I've tracked down the bug, so thank you very much!
I'm glad I helped even I tiny bit 😊
I love democracy.
I guess this is a bit of a dangerous topic lol, but I really liked it, especially the voices
Indeed! I figured if I made it absurd people wouldn't be too offended!
There are so many words but ill just say baaaaa LOL.

Quite a funny game! I love the physics when using the filibuster!
Wow! This is really funny, and a great idea for a game. I love the graphics. Also, it's interesting gameplay/commentary that the more followers you get it's harder to navigate tight spaces. Great job! Also, Prump's voice was great!
Haha sounds like you didnt use the filibuster!
This game was really fun! Not at all what I expected but it was actually adorable and it's real fun converting all the sheeple. I didn't understand the filibuster mechanic until I was about halfway through, once I realized it though it made the game much better as I didn't have to maneuver my way through a bunch of sheep LOL
Thanks for playing! Yes, in hindsight I should have just made the button extra clickable so that you discover the mechanic more naturally and want to press the button. Maybe a flashy button and bigger!
Very fun game! Also continuously filibustering is hilarious when you have a big crowd.
Thank you for playing! Yes, after watching someone play I noticed no one presses the filibuster button. I think I should have made it flashing or more "pushable" so that you can get the same experience you did :)
To be fair, I was most impressed you could make a political game that didn't feel preachy. I think even people who disagree with the message can still enjoy it for what it is which is really impressive!
Thank you. I figured the more ridiculous I could make it, the less people would be offended. I got to talking to someone who played it and I think if I were to develop it further I would give you the choice of which rally to infiltrate. A Prump rally or a Baaden rally. Give both sides equal play. That of course is a bit too much to add to a one week jam as a solo dev though.
