Very serious defending with no relevance to real life. Seems to be a mix of balanced and unbalanced? everything was destroyed all the time though i did still kinda passively win and grow bit by bit so it works out i guess. All my missiles kept missing though :p Fun lil game

The dialogue is very funny. I had a lot of fun, it was definitely hard. I wasn’t sure how to make more money? Nice work though.

It is quite difficult indeed. But it might just be due to my utter lack of experience with management type games.

Still very fun! The UI and art even made me feel nostalgic for some reason

As someone who is tied to the Middle East through my family, this was hilarious! I really liked the humor and the "The Dictator" themed stuff. 

This really made me laugh! Well done! 

Really had lots of fun with this totally-not-related-to-real-life-in-any-shape-or-form game. Immediately understood that the intro was mostly for the lulz and the mechanics were very intuitive. Interesting entry, 'cause not many (or probably no one else) went with the city sim genre. Arstyle was nice and goofy very serious and the experience was overall great (and also wtf did I just read?).

I'd have liked some more audio besides the looping song, but this is one of the more unique entries ive played thus far! at first it seems I invested too much into oil and got softlocked since my threat skyrocketed and I was getting spammed with enemies and unable to fight back, but after a few tries I got it down.

I really enjoyed this type of games, missed more upgrades since I got mine pretty fast and started to get overwhelmed by the amount of enemies in later waves, but it was really fun to play. Was in doubt about the theme, but read your explanation and I think I understood it. Great game!

Ok so i did read it and while it did work i do feel like that put me on a more guided way to play the game so it was kinda straight forward and not much thinking. but damn I did enjoy myself, I should've not read and just tried, a challenge and getting it would've been great. I'm trying to place the genre of the game to be able to give feedback but I don't really know where it falls into or what the game is trying to be, because tuning and pacing would be different based on what you're trying to achieve. I think there's something here though, I did enjoy myself

The game is interesting. At one point in the early game somehow my single oil refinery was repairing just in the nick of time to send out a ship and then gets hit by a missile, so I always had some money. That was when I realized I made the mistake of buying the centrifuges early. With that slither of income I just slowly upgraded the missiles and then bought the refineries and then just afked to victory lol. Anyways below is my feedback.

I actually did not realize that the 25m was for the purchase of the oil refinery until I clicked it. Lol on hindsight it was obvious but because it cost quite a bit, and I wasn't sure what it was, I avoided it in favor of other stuff (the missiles) until the other stuff was too expensive. Only then did I click on it and realize what it was for. I think it would be nice if there was a tooltip when you hover over it.

It is kind of weird that technically you could win by just buying centrifuges, though that will take a long time. At the same time it does seem like it would be too difficult to balance the lose condition around the different systems (like if the lose condition was everything destroyed, then the defense system becomes priority etc.). Maybe time? Like you need to build the bomb by 4 in game years? I'm not sure really.
-EDIT- Actually it suddenly occurred to me that perhaps it would be alright to have different lose conditions in the different systems, as that can just be something similar to a challenge mode. It would give more variation in the strategy required depending on the lose condition.

It would be nice to have some agency on where the initial anti air systems and oil refineries are placed, would also add some replayability and variation to the game.

The visuals are alright, and the audio wasn't too loud and fit quite well. The starting dialogue/tutorial was quite amusing. Overall, it was an enjoyable game. It strangely reminded me a of Plague Inc.

I'll be honest, I wasn't entirely sure what I was doing, but it was super serious work. I think I did good! This game was pretty funny and it made me laugh a lot. Super silly and I'm glad I tried it out. The music was honestly banger

This game is very 

Aladeen

This is an insane amount of content for a week! However, the more content a game has the harder it gets to teach it all to a player in an understandable way. I found that I kept forgetting what a lot of things did after the tutorial and had to click all the buttons to find what I was looking for.

I really tried to beat this game but after 5 attempts of all my buildings instantly being destroyed no matter what I try and upgrade first, I had to quit. My money kept getting stuck at 50k or 100k and was unable to do anything but wait. Maybe I just suck at strategy games since I never play them.

This game has a perfect fitting soundtrack. It is not distracting at all and is actually kind of calming for what is happening lol. The art also isn't terrible. Everything is readable and you can fully understand what everything is without having to take time to think about it. This is exactly what you want with art so good job on that!

Centrifuges are also a unique take on the theme that I have not seen much of. I think you did a good job! I wish you luck with the rest of this rating period!

Firstly, I really respect the choice of subject matter which you managed to balance out with the 'I'm not taking myself too seriously' style writing, which made the topic laughable. Hats off to you for not shying away from it.  

You've managed to put together a bunch of systems for a strategy game in a WEEK, ALONE.  To me, that's crazy. Ultimately that led to the tutorial dump at the start. Other comments have already mentioned this, the tutorial was very crucial and helpful in game playability, but it could have been done better by pacing it out (which you also mentioned in a reply yourself). I found myself clicking around a little trying to rmb what's what and where everything was. Understandably though you only had a day to put it all in, and with a game like this there is bound to be a shit tonne of information. I also appreciate that you tried to iconise most things on the top bar so that it wouldn't be a words-galore situation, but perhaps some icons could have used some tweaking for player understandability (or perhaps the slower paced tutorial would have already helped with that).

I'm not sure how I feel about a strategy game where you can eventually just sit back and watch the centrifuges go (or in my case had no choice but to, since my money got stuck at 50k from stupid spending), but perhaps for a gamejam that IS better. I am also completely unable to comment on any of the balance for a strategy game cos I don't know shit about that, so I won't :) 

The choice of bg music is nice, it doesn't pull too much attention to itself, fades out for a bit which gives the player respite, but still adds to the atmosphere, I really liked that (I still have it playing while I type this lol). Visually, it's no spectacle, but it did the job and carried the message, so all things considered it doesn't take away from the game.

(I just read the tip about economy before centrifuges. Damn.)

All in all, good job, I appreciate that this exists.

You game is very Aladeen. On a more serious note, I think there's too much upfront tutorialization. Since your game is quite complex, maybe introduce 1 element at a time. Start with economic building, then add the defense. But very Aladeen nonetheless.

The theme is great. The intro and disclaimer are wonderful. A nice take on current events.

I love how the oil refineries and SAM sites go dark for a while when damaged, but then get restored, showing resilience. It would be nice to be able to purchase additional SAM sites, or maybe some mobile SAM launchers, to help speed things up and reduce down time.

The gameplay could use a bit more to it. After a while it really does come down to waiting and letting things happen, essentially becoming an idler game. There just isn't anything left to do once you've unlocked everything and set your missiles to the best they can do. I tried to balance the threat by building enough centrifuges to not max out the threat and let things go for a while, But I got 100% threat anyway and then purchased all the remaining centrifuges I could to speed things up. Sure, in real life things take time, but as a game, it would be nice if it went a bit faster once there was nothing left to do, or give more to do in later parts. Other than feeling like it dragged on longer than needed, which I suppose also fits what it is representing, it was well done.

Good job on this! You really fleshed out a lot of features here, there seems to be some real strategy to win. I appreciate the explanations at the beginning, otherwise I would have felt lost.

Perhaps a clear losing state would have been nice? I got to a point once where  I was out of money, and my infrastructure was in ruin. It seems I effectively lost, but the game just kept going. Maybe a set of conditions under which the game would just tell me I've lost would be a nice touch.
