It just doesn't feel immersive enought, like you are doing anything. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Otherwise a really beatiful game"},{"author_name":"vortex","author_uid":"36386","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 6:46pm","epoch":1450118460,"text":"Wow! That game was great! I just kept smiling playing this game! :)\r<br\/>When I first saw the game on the games page, I thought that I would spend the next five minutes reading an instructions guide on how you play. What I got was two button controls. I am in love with the theme!\r<br\/>The graphics are really great, and the animations and pop sounds are really statisfying. Sadly the framerate started going down when my city grew.\r<br\/>What I really loved is that you made a game for the audience it is targeted at. The level of complexity fits the five minute play sessions, that people are going to spend on your game perfectly.\r<br\/>A little negative point is that I didn't feel an immediate response to the changes that I made. You could possibly have indicated the actual amount of red\/blue relation somehow..."},{"author_name":"JohnGalt","author_uid":"43656","time":"Dec 14, 2015 @ 6:58pm","epoch":1450119180,"text":"Nice modelings.

The bouncy-ness of the animations and the lowpoly art-style really gave it a nice touch (reminded me a bit of the hotel-pieces from Monopoly, which was a nice touch). The popping sound also worked quite well with drawing my attention.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Gameplay-wise I do think that the mechanics are interesting, it's just that I feel like I might not have fully gotten their application. Sometimes, it felt like as though the bars kept decreasing even though I favored Capitalism more or Communism more than the other. I'm not sure if this was a bug, or if I played it so passive I just spawned a bunch of neutral blocks. The latter seems a bit likely.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Still though, loved the atmosphere and also the fact that you quoted probably my favorite Ebba Gr&ouml;n-song with the title. Nice job! :)"},{"author_name":"TeamDromedare","author_uid":"65316","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 12:35pm","epoch":1450269000,"text":"This concept is as brilliant as the graphics.

Your two options: Capitalism or Communism.\r\n\r\nCapitalism contributes to the economy of your city but decreases the welfare of your citizens. Communism does the opposite. Neutral city blocks decrease both your economy and welfare so you need to take temporary stances to ensure that your city grows. If you run out of money or welfare you lose.\r\n\r\nNote: The political implications of this game do not necessarily represent our personal views.
