Very very interesting idea. Slight glitch with the level bars going too far to the left and right at one point but nothing major and I loved the demonstrators!

So here's the result.\r\n\r\nYou, the player, are trying to gradually build up society by encouraging different values. If your people disagree with your values, they will start Revolutions, drastically shifting society's values and harming your efforts.\r\n\r\n(Believe it or not, I'm not actually trying to push any kind of social or political agenda here. I just thought it would make for good gameplay. Did I succeed? You decide.)\r\n\r\nUPDATE: I've discovered the Love2D WebGL Player at https:\/\/github.com\/ghoulsblade\/love-webplayer , and I've put a WebGL version of Evolution Or Revolution online. Shiny up-to-date-browsers required, it's a bit temperamental, and the Game Over screen isn't working, but apart from that it's not too bad. Enjoy.<\/p>","title":"Evolution Or Revolution"}
