5 hour game eh? I'm gonna try this when I get home.

1031:04 - rapture

You mean when this contest is done?

On another note, I like the game, it's a fairly simple but funny diversion. Got bored around level 15.

A very accurate depiction of how I'd handle presidential politics.

I THINK IS PRESTIGIOUS THING.  HELLO PERSONS THIS IS GAME WHICH WE HAVE CREATED.  FOR THING WHICH THING I AM GLAD FOR, WHICH IS GLAD IS ME.

Therefore, we hope you find the game's main mechanic (which i will introduce no spoilers you'll have to play it for yourself) as satisfying as we have found it.  Also, I made a typographical error in the timeline. Rapture is supposed to be at hour 42031:04.

All in all, pretty entertaining for five hours work.  On the other hand, it's a game that only took five hours of work.  It was funny for the first couple levels, but after that it didn't really go anywhere.

i smacked him around for 6 levels. is it possible at all to lose?

[Oddball]

My arm hurts after all that president bashing. Couldn't work out how to win, or lose, so in the end gave up. Good stuff.

It may be difficult to imagine how one could ever tire of such a past-time, but the single button gameplay approach wore on me before long.  Definitely a hoot for a bit, though.  I liked the bubble making face.  He looks so happy!   :D
