Very good writing and dialogue in this game, I liked the mechanics of trying to win an argument. Though it was a bit difficult a lot of the time to figure out which answer related to each type of argument. Making a fish-based argument was unconventional indeed.

Really nice job on this!  The story was funny and it was fun analyzing the audience and choosing a response -the art was good too -great work! :D

The art is rough and I REALLY wish it had sound, but the writing still kept this pretty entertaining

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and nice that you found the writing entertaining enough :)

Nice game, really funny! I liked the references. Is the mayor the purple guy?

I love games that I can choose my name xD

Ah, the only thing I missed in this game is music and sounds. The lack of it makes the game too static.

Thank you very much for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed it ❤

The music/sound is an absolutely valid point. With just two people (one of which had 0 prior game making experience) we’re glad we got something playable out.

Thank you for your kind words! As an alligator you probably were predisposed to enjoy the fishiness ;)

Good game! I like how you don't take yourself too seriously, I almost lost it at Michael from Vsauce

Oh, thanks for playing and the feedback! A bit embarrassing that there were(/are) still some bugs in there 🙈
