Dear Chancellor by Ludonaut
Controls:
Hold LMB to aim, RMB activates the Unconventional Weapon.
Gamepads should also work! (depending on your browser). Aim with the analog sticks, try what the buttons do.
The +/- keys on your keyboard increase/decrease speed and the number of enemies spawned, feel free to cheat.
Best played in Chrome-based and WebGL-enabled browsers. Seriously, don't even attempt to play this in Safari, it will look like ass and the audio probably won't work properly. Don't be a Safari.
Description:
"Dear Chancellor is like, a totally highbrow critique of late capitalism. You wouldn't understand."
Made with Construct 2 in a couple of hours. This was somewhat of a last-minute project as I had other obligations and I lost like half a day of work to a system freeze. Because I didn't do an initial save of the project then, C2's autosave function didn't do its job. So yeah, fun times. I feel like I could have done a lot more with this idea, but there you go. Might do a post-jam version, I dunno. We'll see.

But the rating widget doesn't appear?
Is this about Quantitative Easing policies in Europe or something?
It's more a toy, but the juice is OFF THE CHARTS. Really good :)
REALLY want to rate the music :)
