Anyways those two things are really minor, nice game in general. Took a bit of getting used to, but i got there in the end and finished the game.
I enjoyed the simluation aspect and how it obviously relates back to an issue in the real world.
After a couple of failed attempts, I managed to bring the climate back under control, despite reaching 0% satisfaction for both Industry and Energy sectors. So a minor bug there, but overall very nice implementation.
Also the intro was a surprising addition that I enjoyed.
The game is good, the intro is awesome and i enjoy these kind of games. I think it was challenging not knowing what my selections could lead too, i found myself guessing most of the times but i understand it was the idea.
Some things maybe to improve my experience next time :D
* Graphics could improve, not a blocker to play this game but it is always nice to play a nice looking game. Maybe using more images ingame i dunno i am a programmer myself so dont count me on this
* I could not find how to restart the game, had to close and open, could be useful to have the retry button in this kind of games were you expect to fail a few times
* Maybe the game could be simplified a little, i could not handle all the information sometimes. Maybe the same idea with less choices or less indicators was good also but to be honest maybe its something personal and the game is easy and simple for everyone. Even in the year result maybe use more colors to easily match for example, all sociaty related information is blue.
The humor is great, the texts and voice acting are cool, good job on that. Keep it up!
Good choice of music.
Resourse managment game.
And aswell you have voice actring too.
Greate job and good luck on LD. My vote for you =)
