Sound design was good, music was pleasant and fitting.\r<br\/>Cons: I kept getting stuck in trees and in the cars, that was frustrating. The experience was VERY repetitive (thus my low &quot;fun&quot; score). \r<br\/>If there was more variety and less of the constant clicking I would have given more stars. Also, I enjoyed the humor."},{"author_name":"Thingo Studios","author_uid":"31541","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 1:00am","epoch":1429664100,"text":"I didn't care for the gameplay-- I kept getting stuck in the walls, and the process by which you converted voters was a bit too abstract for my tastes.

I didn't know you could win elections this way, but it makes total sense now that I've experienced it.

The concept of using lies to convert voters is great -- and everyone loves a llama in a hat.

For some reason, seeing the &quot;health bars&quot; go UP really amused me.
