One thing I'd say is that the controls get a bit confusing when you're on the top part of the globe. It might be better to keep the character still and rotate the world.
(Might be thematic too, the world revolves around you :thinking:)
I enjoyed it, would have liked some sound. Good job.
Whenever a dialog window pops up it shifts the screen (I assume because of using space and arrow keys as controls?)
It could be a bit smoother if the focus radius on the cities was a little larger and if you didn't need to hit space in the same city twice in a row: to end a dispute there and then again to focus on it.
I could say something like that this was on purpose and part of the story like the world is going down anyway, but truth is I didn't have time to properly balance and add more levels.
The original idea was to gain some power-ups when levelling like a global ceasefire for some duration or install a twitter bot to help you in managing all the mean tweets, but that didn't really work out in time.
