How does your game represent "Power"?
This game draws a parallel line between power and influence by putting the player in the shoes of a powerful emperor.
Power in this game is to be able to keep the crowds happy. But the more power you get, the more risks you take to be betrayed.
To keep in power, keep an eye on all gladiators, to ensure no cheater is spared.

Nice concept expressing many story beats with few mechanics.
It's quite tough to keep track of the gladiators swapping with everything going on!

Dear, Can You Open the Pickle Jar?This is freaking awesome!
I kept getting stuck on the signing page, but the balancing of trying to dodge and catch stuff while trying to determine if the gladiators are cheaters is really enjoyable. Also the art style is amazing feels like as if I'm there in Rome. Keep up the amazing work!

Alchemical DungeonVery cool idea full of character! Keeps you on your toes with all the different interactions, and the art is fantastic. Pretty sure the real Caesar was able to tank more stabbings though.

Biggie Math AdventureThat was very charming and unique! I liked the sound design-- reminded me of old school games I played as a kid. I really liked the art-- it all looked pretty! And I liked the gameplay-- very unique and it was fun dodging tomatoes while trying to keep track of who was cheating in the gladiator fight. I enjoyed playing!

Power NappingUnique concept and great presentation.
But UM ACTUALLY Tomatoes are from the americas, and would not have been available to coliseum audiences in ancient Rome. 0/10 unplayable.
That's a joke. Good game!

Wheel Love SparksRealistic management simulator, can't work for 10 friggin' seconds without someone making me sign something or misusing tomatoes in my general direction.
Amazing art, fun game! :)

POWER SUCKERSGreat idea for the theme. I like the small quick time events as well. This game has a nice natural learning curve. Aka the game started off challenging and over time I was able to keep up with everything going on. It wasn't overly challenging like some games can end up being but also not too easy at first either. A good balance.

Power's OutUnique little entry. I felt very powerful determining whether people live or die.

POWER MODEIf I could give the amount of focus I gave to this game to school I could graduate instantly.

Failsafe ProtocolI achieved endless pwoer!
Interesting concept, sounded really easy when reading how to play, but it was actually quite difficult to keep track of the cheater with everything else that was happening on screen.
Very nice entry!

Plug and PrayI love the name. The premise is intriguing and fits well with the power theme. The interactive controls are a nice touch, though there were a few instances where the document kept getting stuck on my screen no matter how much I signed it. In other instances, it worked quite well. The art, animations, and sound design are nice. The sound effects seem maybe a bit loud compared to the menu music and ambient sounds. Nice work overall!
