Nice concept of taxation. A tutorial or detailed insturctions can be helpful. Maybe a fast forward button too.

Perhaps you can include some elements of growth and development with the money you tax from the people. You could also introduce some factors like happiness scale/crime scale/employment/unemployment scale etc., which is affected from the taxation scheme which could be some sort of a challenge to overcome.

Yes, I will add a tutorial. 
The crime and unemployment scale is an interesting idea. I would like to see how we can implement that.

Thanks for playing the game!

Gorgeous graphics, I really enjoyed watching my little guys moving around and working. I do think a little tutorial is needed, the grid of numbers at the start was not so clear and a bit overwhelming.

Would be very grateful if you tried our game!

Hmm.. now I think about it. It is. I will move it so that you have a couple of days later so you can first see what's going on and then change the tax. 

Thanks for playing the game!

Great idea, awesome style and models. Very cool that it uses research to drive the simulation.

I started a set of taxes, but I need more interaction. How long do I wait until my next participation? Can I fast forward the simulation? I don't have much context for how well things are going.

Hey 
Thanks for playing the game and leaving a comment here! it means a lot to me.

I couldn't make UI for it. I just coded it. sadly we ran out of time. We are noobs in this.
I will keep on updating this after the jam. If you want to stick around you are more than welcome. 

If you have other suggestions please add on would like to know them.
Thanks again!
