Very interesting game!

Cool idle game :) The systems are a bit hard to grasp at first, and it starts quite slow, but the gameplay accelerates quickly.

Nice aesthetic! I feel like I didn't really "get" the gameplay/strategy, but I won twice so I guess I did alright, haha.  The options menu  button didn't seem to work for me, but it didn't cause me any problems.

Developer

Thanks for playing it! It's quite a simple game where you just click some levels. It really isn't that exciting on the surface, it's knowing that you're taking back from the Imperial Core that makes it satisfying.  It's something I should've leaned into more.
Also I realised I never actually finished setting up the options menu woops. Luckily the sounds aren't that loud.

It's a game jam after all! And the theme is great, power to the workers!

Nobody else talked about it so maybe I'm the only one with the problem, but the game is off-screen for me in the html version, and I don't see an .exe :/

Very odd... You're not on mobile? Because I know it is off-screen on mobile. But I've not figured out how it could happen on a pc. Is the game screen area fully of screen or partly? I might be able to work around it by making the viewport dimensions smaller (they're currently set to 1920x1080)
Edit: I may have fixed it because I was a dumb dumb and forgot to set stretch to canvas_items in my project settings in Godot.

Yeeey it works now!

Developer

Ah awesome to hear, thanks for pointing it out and for playing my game!

Really interesting take on a game about seizing the means of productions. Instead of being an action-fest about beating up billionaires it's a more calmed down strategy game (not that there's anything wrong with the former).

The aesthetic it's pretty neat, kinda looks like Soviet posters from a parallel universe.

Developer

Thanks! As much as I love beating up billionaires (in games, mr fbi) I'm too much of a strategy/management game fan.


I took El Lissitzky's Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge as my main source of insperation for the nationalised parts of my little project.

finally a game where i can indulge my passion for nationalization. Absolutely loved it. Stunning soundtrack.

I'm curious though is "Core" a well known term for like the liberal elite, or did you want to do something cyberpunk/AI ? I would just have gone with "Oligarchs" or "liberals" XD

Thank you, glad you got to indulge in our shared passion for nationalisation! The Core in my game refers to the Imperial Core, the term used to describe the West/Global North/Capitalist/Imperialist countries in the World Systems theory.

ooooh i see that makes so much sense
