My slogan is "I have a bomb"

I'm sorry but I didn't really know what to do 😢

My suggestion would be to highlight / distinguish words in player's sentence which were good, and which lowered the score. Otherwise the game has potential 👍

This idea is super creative. The art is amazing, and I love the little touches such as the talking animations and the appearance of torches and pitchforks. I have 0 clue what I'm actually supposed to be saying, though.
Overall, the game is super fun!

Loved the idea but was not sure if my sentences really had that of an impact. I definitely loved the art though!

I liked this concept! I think it might be missing a little of more guidance or direction as to what to write since it seemed that as long as it was ok, the structure didnt matter much. Maybe depending on the reporter is the kind of wording you should use? 

Submitted

This was a very fun concept!! I loved seeing how my ratings would increase or decrease depending on what I said (and also the bounds on what I could say while still gaining favor with everyone). The art and characters were very cute, and I especially like the dialogue that helped make the world feel more alive!!

"cats out of the bag folks" its just positive word matching and no care about repeats or sentence structure. Would've been appropriate to connect to AI and score against that instead.

Its a great game, with a really nice art style!! I found a glitch where if you put this one word in it always brings up your score.

Really fun game. I agree with the other comments that a bit of insight into why certain talking points didn't work would be nice, but overall, I loved this concept.

Submitted

Amazing game, I have learned many things, like I should never go into pawlitics. The art was great, and all the different talking points were pretty funny. I also got a rating of 5.4, no clue if thats good, but I like to think so. I really enjoyed it!

Great game! Keep it up!❤︎⁠

This game showed me that I cannot be a politician. Love the visuals and how you spun the word "spin". I wish there was a bit of feedback onto why the rating went up or down so I can learn how to speak like a true pawlitician. I can see this game being very interesting with different ratings of parties and species/breeds. Overall, nice work!

A cool idea, and I like that you get to type your own responses! I think with a little more clarity on how to score better could be good too. 

Submitted

Really cool idea! I am very professional with my politics :D

(they all loved me when I told them to act like I said the correct answer)

Submitted

such a fun interpretation (or should i say SPIN) of the theme! i love the style, its really cute! both the questions and the rolling news at the bottom of the screen were really funny

Submitted

The style of this game is so cool! I love the art direction, a full game of this with more in-depth decisions would be so fun. Overall I enjoyed it, especially the clever writing lmao

Submitted(+2)

It's a cool idea, but the lack of guidance on what makes something a positive spin makes it hard to fully enjoy. Still, I love how it is framed like a live news broadcast and the scrolling text on the bottom was clever and funny!

Submitted

the crowd didn't like me very much, don't tell them to not commit kibble evasion apparently. Anyway this was a very creative spin on the theme, it was very fun and the art is great too (Fantastic page thumbnail BTW got my click). After a couple rounds the game play did feel a little samey although i also admit i don't know what kind of variation you could add `sorry`. Nicely made.

Submitted

I loved this one! I do think it could have used some extra twists that it introduces every round or so, just to keep the interest going. It didn't really feel like the wheel that you got to spin every once in a while had a huge effect on the gameplay, and it got a little tiring doing the same thing round after round. But it was surprisingly fun being able to type your own responses and see how the audience would react. The art and sound was great too, and I loved that the audience could change states depending on your approval rating. Great job!

Submitted

Loved the game. I had one question though. How do you even rate responses? how do you decide what ans gets what rating from the citizens? thanks a lot in advance.

What is my cabinet up to...
Incredible take on the theme, and very fun even when I lost after proposing free healthcare for everyone.
Very creative, enjoyable and funny.
I also don't think I should ever get into politics.
