This is a very good game. It's very polished and I like the mechanic and idea. I finished the whole game and enjoyed it. If I had to critique anything it would be that the people don't pathfind around buildings so you have to go to them.

I really enjoyed the concept. Reminded me of the flavor of 8-bit era indie games like Agent USA

This game is fantastic. I love how the voices work, very creative! I just wish there was music! Other than that, solid job.

Awesome concept, and well executed. Gameplay was great, had a tough time with the rally mechanic but it made the countdown seem more suspenseful. Overall 10/10 Would SUPPORT LOCAL ARTISTS again.

Great idea and it was executed very well! I really enjoyed challenging myself to convert all of the enemies into followers. Great work! :)

great concept! i always enjoy fast-reaction arrow key hitting (maybe coming from my experience with stepmania haha). and as an extension of that i wish the game were harder, such as the time limit being shorter or the arrow count higher, maybe even increasing as the levels progress. otherwise its pretty fun!
also egg :egg:

I love the concept, I could really see that turned into a full release (with a few more added features) !
I've got a Papers, Please vibe while playing this ! Great level of polish, well done :)

I love the chain reactions you can have in this game, while you only talked to a few people, your followers have already spread the good word further, very well executed idea! If you like revolutions, then perhaps you'd like my game too ;) Either way, well done!

Great idea! It was quite hard to beat, as the enemies kept spreading. Sometimes my followers would get stuck because of obstacles, so pathfinding would be great.

Really nice work. Solid execution, fun mechanics, straightforward play experience that's great for a jam.

I'd love to see this expanded out, where convincing the red guys required more of a conversation. Felt a little too easy to convince people that pineapple on pizza is a good thing.... which it's NOT.

Thank you to everyone who's played so far! I'm glad you've enjoyed, and if I ever expand this into something greater I'll be sure to keep your guys suggestions in mind

really really good concept, i loved it! had a lot of fun playing it too. great mechanics as well. well done on your solid submission!

i love how at a certain point my "followers" convince others on their own. The natural growth of the game is amazing

final score: 320

Hey, I played your game on my stream if you're interested in watching the video. (Apologies for the kinda bad audio mix)
