We at Balloon Co. [gaming division] are here to unbaffled the baffled and turn that "huh" into a "my eyes are opened and I am no longer blind and I will support you"!  You probably found this game while browsing itch.io for the newest indie games to scratch your indie game desiring itch.  What you may not know is that is game is an entry in a contest!  Also, back when you commented, for some reason the people running this contest forbid you from rating it.  But now, they have seen the errors of their ways and are letting you vote for this game!  Here's a gamefaq we've written up just for you!

Table of contents: 1) Updates, 2) Legal, 3) Controls, 4)Voting, a)Navigation, b)Final boss, 5)FAQ 6)Acknowledgment

1) Updates:

v0.9 typed up guide  v1.0 pressed post. v1.1 Fixed some capitalization and spelling errors.  Apologies if you like those.

2) Legal:

Balloon Co [gaming division] is not affiliated with the creators of the itch.io game jam voting system, and thus, the game Voting For The Protest Vote.  All rights belong to them.  Also, this gamefaq should only be posted on the Protest Vote itch.io comment section.  If you see this guide anywhere else, it is STEALING, so contact us so we can SEND OUR LAWYERS AFTER THOSE GAMEFAQ STEALERS!

3) Controls:

We use mouse and keyboard, but we've heard rumors that you can use a touchpad on a phone.  We cannot afford that we we could not test it.  Sorry.

4) Voting:

a) Navigation

There are three different strategies to navigate to the voting page.  I will go over them below, I think you should use the one that best fits your play style, but we find method 3 easiest.  If you prefer a challenge, try to find a way to do all three.

Method A: Click the link to https://itch.io/jam/igmc2017 and scroll down until you find the game called The Protest Vote.  Click the Protest Vote.

Method B: Click the link to our game page here https://balloonco-gd-617017.itch.io/the-protest-vote and in the top right corner, click the star that says "rate submission for Indie Game Contest 2017"

Method C: Just click this link. https://itch.io/jam/igmc2017/rate/190796

b) Final Boss

To beat Voting for The Protest Vote, you must first click the check mark box next to Vote, then click the Save rating button.  BE SURE YOU DO THIS IN ORDER!  We once hit Save rating, then the check mark box, and it did NOT SAVE OUR VOTE!

5) FAQ

Q: Why should I play this game?

Voting For The Protest Vote is an important supplement to the Balloon Co. [gaming division] game, The Protest Vote.  You do not need to play The Protest Vote in order to play Voting For The Protest Vote, but it is highly recommended.  The reasons you should play Voting for the Protest Vote are explained in the game description of The Protest Vote.

Q: Can I use this guide to vote for other games?

A: This strategy, with different links should with other games, but we would advise against it.  If other games get votes, then that decreases the chance the The Protest Vote wins the People's Choice Award, and thus there is a smaller chance of us bringing a revolution to the indie game contest world.

Q: Is this game a good speed run?

A: Absolutely!  You should post your voting speed run times in the comments!
