Interesting concept, but for some questions the time is a bit too short.
I like it although some of questions are difficult for me ;D
I enjoy the subjective questions, which I got totally wrong until I thought in double-think. Clever! Extra points for supporting both keyboard and mouse, and having 8-bit sound effects. Good work!
Lovely! Nice to see some "serious" games here. Perfect medium to talk about this stuff. Had a good time!
Moody, tense, amusing, depressing and educational, all at the same time. Looks great, sounds great - though I found the timer jussst a little short, but whatcha gunna do? Nice work!
It's fantastic to play a game that was made for a jam that explores a genre rarely approached during jams. Great work! A disturbing, cleanly-drawn, excellent game!
Really enjoyed the satire in the questions. Simultaneously funny and sad how one could finish the sentences without thinking about it, just because of how common they are.
Great concept and the mood is well built up. I just could not understand why were there math questions :D
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Apart from the crash I managed to get I was impressed by this game. It was good to see a serious game here and I liked the propaganda questions - they were very sinister. Well done.
Really cool. The questions were a bit confusing at first but then figured out the biased context in which to answer.
I think the music could have been a bit more moody. The question were good. Didn't like the math questions XD
lol awesome game, i like music, sounds and the test hahaha. America never lost a war hahaha. so much fun GOOD JOB!
Interesting concept. It was great to see such a unique idea explored. Graphics were also very nice and clean
Very funny questions. I had an uncaught exception somewhere in the second file.
Haha, what a great statement to our modern society, really good. Graphics is nice and clean. I love those questions, though some of them I run out of time as soon as I finish reading the question.
great use of minimal art, nicely dark sense of humor.
math stuff kicked my sorry artist ass.
The NSA, eh? ;D I enjoyed it, great job for the time given!
Very clean responsive interface. I loved the humor behind it too.
Pretty interesting stuff - I always enjoy retro hack style games :)
A pretty serious game but a little too politically-charged for my taste though.
Also, it got really difficult to "progress" to different areas, it wasn't clear when I could click on or access different files.
Fun game :D
Some questions was a bit too long to be able to anwser on first try
That is a very nice idea, a great way to make a political statement (to those who get it at least). It does kind of show how a large part of americans, or politicians at least, think. Great humor and mood.
Brilliant!! Just the perfect satire...
Too bad some of the question are too long and there isn't enough time to read them. A level select would be great to not have to start over.
I'm rating this very high because the satire is just too good!
Nice game. But a bug makes any question time-out after 5 seconds, which makes the game quite hard...
The sounds were great!
Good concept but using a visual novel engine to make the game was not the best idea as it is really easy to cheat.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
The graphics were clean and satisfying. I think one of your math questions might have been a bit off. Aside from the whole maths, I enjoyed the satirical nature of the questions. Edgy and well done for 72 hours. Great job!
