I'm surprised that it is the only game about elections I came across so far! I'm not 100% sure how it works, but I like the premise!

PS: I will be tweeting about this game, and some other games I will play from the jam: https://twitter.com/TheAntonSem/status/1284852745510563840

Looks like the idea of switching between the bag and the speaker is a good way to create some kind of conflict. I've never seen an election simulator before, so the originality is there as well.

The only issue is was that I didn't get what am I to do. Do I want the crowd to cheer or boo? I tried both ways but couldn't win. The stickers is a nice idea, but I'm not entirely sure how it affects the gameplay (besides trying to get them in the bag). I liked the sounds, but I believe the graphics could use some artistic touch.

Nonetheless, great job!

Great concept. Pretty accurate how when you concentrate on your bag that you miss whatever your opponent was saying till you focus back again. That you can't just read what you've missed while looking through the bag makes it an interesting balance between hearing the other one's point and getting more resources.

What a cool, unique idea! I loved how you had to like, put things together again. I think the feedback about the choice made could be clearer, I thought I was doing well until the end!

Probably one of the most original games of the jam :)

While I would love to be certain I won't bounce between money and gun stickers forever when I need something about humanity, I do legitimately think this is one of the most original games I've seen this year.  Very nice concept with just a few naggling mechanical issues.
