Amazing. Fits really well into the theme, it's fun to play. I'll definitely come back to play more later.

Minimalistic, fun and original but becomes too easy once you figure out a proper algorithm, as was already mentioned

I think it looks great despite the minimalism imposed by the limited time. And the idea feeds directly into the theme. Though I feel it's not that fun once you figure out the proper algorithm.

I second this, it does look pretty good, almost like an official tool to show how gerrymandering works. I didn't figure out the ultimate algorithm to win though :( haha

The concept really fits the theme of the jam. I love puzzles so this is up my alley. I liked the gameplay until I realized that districts didn't have to be connected and that makes it too easy. For a game made in a day it is pretty good. I didn't have anything playable in the first day so I'm impressed.

It doesn't have a tutorial so players who don't know what Gerrymandering is might not understand how to play. It isn't obvious that you can right click a district to reset. Also it isn't obvious how many block should be in a district so the beginning of a level can sometimes be surprising when that number goes up.

If you add more time, it would have been nice to have better graphics and user feedback.
