Holy shit-a-moly! This was such a amazing entry. I love the art and the progression of the game. The stylistic approach, with the humor, with the customization, with the badges, with the music, with the subtle animations. I really can't even pin-point any disappointments. This feels like a project that was worked on for months! The amount of polish you guys were able to get in there was really stellar.

Parts of this felt like a really fun modular card game. Something that was re-imagined as a video game. Sometimes I feel like these mix-match mechanics for modular experiences stem from really solid card games. I'm not sure if it is the limitations of paper, but when those limitations feel like they are re-imaged or injected into a video game well ; it's just stellar.

Thanks for the great experience!

Haha - I enjoyed that so much. It would have been good if we had a way to remember what we had chosen before. But maybe you intended that to be part of the game? 
Graphics were awesome, loved the art style. Music was spot on. Transitions were nice. What a range of options! Feeling like you were in a story was great.

I'm not a fan of this type of style (or of soviet theme in general), but this game was fun to play. In the beginning I got confused (like I always do), but then got used to gameplay and enjoyed making choices to get more points  :)

Very cool art style and idea, and love the story behind it, Just wish there were more challenges to the game. great job overall:)

I love the art style and ideia. This was fun. Great job :) 

I really like the mood of this game! It is really cohesive in its atmosphere. The art and the music looks very polished. It's fun to play and has replayability. With a little bit more deph in its mechanics I believe this could be a very good foundation to work on and release. Congratulations!

I decided to play this game again, and I was again blown away by how great it was! Having to strategize about each part of the game design process, and then hoping that you made the right choice at the end is great! This is one of the few games of the jam I want to replay. Good job!

Wow. This game blew me away! Excellent innovation of the theme and I loved the music. The mechanics were great and the art was incredible. Your team nailed every aspect of a great game. Good job! 

This was fantastic, I could not meet the continuing demands of the committee but it was fun before I was sent to the gulag. Everything was great.

The game was fun.The presentation,the visuals are all  uniquely stylistic.But man the humor in this game and the communism parts of this game are really funny and fun.I love the text and images on the pick hardware/software/propaganda selections.

At the near end of the game though I had every worker and hardware at 5 stars,which then got a tiny bit boring(but that's only because I played this game a lot)

This was so fun! The presentation as a whole was just excellent, from the art itself to the filter on the screen. It was pretty funny as well. It wasn't super clear at first how everything works together, but after playing a few times I started to understand it. Great job!

Fantastic art and good writing, this game has a lot of personality. I like the idea of it being a memory game, it's certainly something you don't see a lot of and this was fairly well executed. I think the gameplay does get repetitive though, so maybe there needs to be an additional element. Perhaps a card/power-up system where you collect them, then you can use them to your advantage when the RNG doesn't go your way (e.g. you want a programmer and only get artists).

It is a very well executed game, with a lot of funny details. The game has a lot of personality and has its own 'game feels'. I like even though the actual gameplay is a bit simple. The dialogue / text is very nice aswell

The best game I played so far and small chances it will change :D Keep up the good work :) I found one small bug - when scores get 4-digits not all digits fit the screen ;) You could make a font a bit smaller or use a monospace font to fix this

Great game, one of the best that I played..

Congratulations on your entry for this gamejam :D
