A fruit based political domination game. Send everything at your disposal across the Anabananian States to try and maintain your constantly waning political power.

Hint: Use the keyboard to select a figure.

Features: - Control Anabananian president by going around the states and doing speeches, increasing your political power - Use different media figures to influence multiple states at the same time - You get new figures every time big tick goes around the clock. Upgrade the clock to reduce the interval of new media figures. - You need to keep your political power over 50% at the end of the term. (You can look at small a tick on big clock ;)) - Durning the game different events will occur, one type of event can get you into the minigame that increases your power

There are several features and 3D models available that we couldn't include because we felt it was not polished or balanced enough or we simply didn't have time: - 3 new characters: Orange, Crooked pear, Coconut (Can you see a resemblance to real life?) - CPU opponent (it didn't add much to the gameplay except randomness, based on current implementation) - Real life figures? We weren't quite sure about this one as the topic can be sensitive. Not to mention it would include additional harder 3D modeling. - Extra minigame (slightly more complex than current one, punchlines coming towards the center of the screen and you have to avoid them)

Plans for future: - [x] Participate in Ludum dare - [x] Meet new people - [x] Submit a game - [ ] Gather feedback - [ ] Release polished version?

Very nice theme, great visuals, just darn lovely to look at and very nice music.

I did however feel like the actual gameplay left a lot to be desired. It seemed like my actions weren't having much affect except for the OP banana.

With an actual tutorial I reckon this game could go very far, great job!

I enjoyed the game play as it was a nice spin on the political race games that you see on steam around election time in america. I think the how to play menu looked a little shoddy and honestly confusing, it would have probably been better just being standard text though i understand what you were trying to do. I think also the game should be slowed down a little bit as i felt myself burning through turns really quickly and getting caught out by the AI too much. Overall a good entry keep it up -Rubi
