Love the art style and the intro cutscene!!
I like your sense of humor and you have a good sense of how big things should be on the screen. I think the gameplay could use a bit more spice, like some kind of second or third thing that happens which might distract you from the farming of moonshine etc. , to maybe expand the management a little, or crank up the challenge a little. But it's a fun idea and I hope you keep going with it.
the V.O. was funny, you should lean into that, consider doing more characters but doing them all yourself (like a hand puppet conversation vibe).
nice work overall!
Oh and also, you could maybe do some more voice recording for in-game feedback. like words of encouragement when the player is doing well, and a warning when you're going broke etc. (all within the frame of your humorous story, of course)
I'm not from your country so I couldn't really understand the references, like what do these items have to do with the story, and so, now and then, I would have a "Wait, is this racist?" moment. I hope it's not, because I'm good at this game, probably the best on the planet and if it's made by aliens to find the chosen one I am to be contacted any minute now.
But you seemed eager for honest feedback so I'll say that graphics and sound are on almost professional level, I can't say anything bad about the game as it is one big gimmick, it is not meant to be a real game and you achieved what you wanted.
I don't want to speak for the creator but I'm pretty sure it's satire on the period during which the game takes place.
So I think the mechanics are purchasing then feeding propaganda to the politician, in that I think you did great and I liked how creepy it was. Would have liked to see more in the way of results, when I played it went to the politician in shadow then back to the title screen. Otherwise, well done, I could see some potential in this, I want to see you take it further. Good work!
The atmosphere and the sound, text background is really good. It felt very polished!
loved it!
i spammed the moonlich thing
i spammed it.. yea sorry..Cool atmosphere!
Loved the vibe of the game. The artwork and sound design was awesome. Couldn't really figure out the best strategy for filling up the propaganda meter though. All the same an interesting prototype. Well done!
As I've mentioned before, your sense of atmosphere for the game is TOP NOTCH
Keep it up in round 2!
Great use of audio and animation. The introduction cutscene was great
