Thematic Relevance
The game is based on the protests going on today in Israel. When we heard that the game jam is about a rebellion, it felt just right, as protesters say "democracy or rebellion". The dialogs are written as accurate as possible, and help the player feel the atmosphere in Israel these days.

This was the last entry for me to review, and I'm really glad I played it! Very well presented, and I really like the attention to detail (the protesters' shouts get louder and louder the more people you gather, for example). Even if I had a little trouble grasping the objective at first, the rules quickly made themselves clear in the turmoil of the situation. The moral gauge and progression system may seem a little hard to manage, but I honestly feel it's an excellent representation of what protests are all about: making as much noise as possible and rallying protestors while trying not to get beaten up to keep gathering more people.

I finished it and was surprised by the ending - I came here to comment and learned that it was about the current climate. After playing so many entries about revolts, finishing my review with your game really echoes the experience of others and seems like the best way to end the jam. Thanks for your participation!

It took a bit until we figured out how the game worked. It was really hard, though. Just bumping into the policepeople would have been enough of a challenge. Having time against you as well was really hard. 🙈

The art was very cute and pleasant!

Interesting premise, but I had some problems figuring out the gameplay. The satire was on point though

Fun gameplay, and the crowds and other sfx really set the mood of a protest!
