Cool game! I think a little added art or audio would have gone a long way, but I really loved the concept. The decisions really felt like they had weight to them and tested my morals. It was very difficult to keep the balance and I felt that pressure, you have to go against your judgement sometimes, but it always hurts. I think just little soudn bites and images to set the scenes would have really done a lot for me. Also alternate ending based on how you fell out of balance would be nice. I played another game from this jam that had a similar concept: Prophets Choice. Great work!

Interesting game idea

Brilliantly minimalistic and shows the breadth of the submissions in the jam.

VERAMOCOR

IYKYK (the questionnaires in Ultima IV and V, and i believe also the super famicom of the Dragon Quest 3 remix cartridge at the start).

obviously theyre so terse theyre all "not enough information" but you could for kicks add unintended consequences like world-events with equally terse descriptions like the end-phase of the old DOS game of 'global thermonuclear war' where it would say something like "missile strikes Dublin, killing 3 million Protestants"

But have them all be murphy's law outcomes, like regardless your judicial outcome some messy geopolitical thing happens lol.  I mean to me thats the next humorous development step is to have "in the news today...." like the crude little civilization 1 by Sid Meier bulletins sprinkled in between the judgments.

But, it's a jam and we have limited time, so! If a rating response is chatty then they liked it enough to be chatty.

Gave you an itch follow, if you like my thing(s) on my page consider doing the same.

Makes you think about where you stand on certain topics. Good job.

With one fell swoop, this judge brings balance to the world. Nice game!

It captures the theme perfectly through one brilliant, unique touch.
