The center-right can call a vote of no-confidence due to the implementation of the compromise unemployment insurance plan that they agreed upon. This seems unrealistic, and also not very balanced from a gameplay standpoint, as the benefit for compromising instead of ending the coalition should be that the coalition survives.
I absolutely love this one! I would describe it as a mix between SimCity and Tetris, in the best way possible. Hats off to the devs; I played the whole thing, and so far it's the best game I've encountered in the jam. The UI is honestly fine --- things don't need to be that polished in a game jam. Basically my only problem was how it's not very easy to swap things between slots, which becomes a problem when some slots are more likely than others, but that's very minor. Great job!
Really great idea --- you guys took the theme and turned it on its head, which I really admire. The music is also really cool. I think where this game runs into issue is the mechanics: it's hard to get a clear feel for where the dice is going to end up, and the way the cannon controls is unintuitive. Maybe if a bit of precision was sacrificed for a more streamlined control scheme, it would have been much better. The UI is a bit of a mess, but you DID only have two days, so I won't hold that against you. Either way, the idea and aesthetic make this a positive experience overall.
