It is actually a very cool and responsive platformer, although if you are not Spanish is difficult to understand who is the main character and the enemies 

[Gryzor]

No idea who the hero or the enemies are But I do know one thing, this is hard as nails!

[||C|-|E||]

The hero seems to be Pablo Iglesias, a presidential candidate in Spain 



He needs to find votes to win the elections 

[Gryzor]

Oh, so it's a political game! At least it makes more sense now - what you're collecting and why.

I read about this in: RetroManiac | Revista de videojuegos retro |Videogames Magazine | Indie | Games

This release is a beta (there will be a final release), and requires 128K. The blog post also mentions that a physical release seems unlikely because the shortage of 3" disks.

I think it makes sense that the game is in Spanish as it is really about Spanish current affairs (general election is happening today).

[Gryzor]

Well, as topical as it might be there *could* be a bit of english to explain for two reasons:


-there are people outside Spain interested in the elections and
-it's a find game in itself, so why constrict it that way?

What, seriously? Nobody's mentioned it yet??

Nope, never mentioned it once, never posted it on FB or re-tweeted it 

[Gryzor]

I'm talking about here? :p

[tastefulmrship]

I'm stuck... what did I need to do to complete the game?
Also, the "Nintendo" section is kinda corrupted... see attached...

I can't speak for the authors; I should have said that in my previous comment

I agree, it shouldn't be too much work adding a couple of lines of context even if the game is not translated.

It recently appeared in the shoutbox.

Ah, completely missed that.


I wish fellows from Spain were more sharing with their output

The game is a satire about the current political climate in spain. We wanted to make a platformer and while brainstorming ideas for the theme we thought of making a game about Pablo Iglesias and his party's "quest" to reboot democracy in Spain. Dadman did a great job with the character's likeness. The bad guys are 3 politicians, 2 journalists and the riot cops.


You need to pick up all the logos (votes) of the different parties (the logos are satires too) and while doing that the doors will unlock to allow you to get in and pick up the votes with the ¿? sign. Those are for the people that haven't decided their vote yet. If you get the gameboy you can access the "mario" zone, wich contains more ¿? votes.


The more votes you get, the easier that it would be to defeat the final boss.


About bugs and fixes, the programmer (jgnavarro) is working on them. The next version will be released with substantial changes and fixes, but it will take some time. I'll make some changes to the tunes too.

[Ast]

Good work.
Can the programmer tell me why does he used split screen technic on his game ? There is no scrolls, so there is no need using this kind of technics...
I just want to understand, maybe i miss Something... who knows ?

[McKlain]

Palette changes.

[Ast]

You don't need to use splitscreen to change your palettes !!

[McKlain]

What can I say, I only make the music 

[Ast]

But what a great music...

[Ast]

@McKlain : you've got a new mail...

[Nightwolf]

Ey McKlain, very nice music as always! By the way, what about a C4CPC version for it?

[McKlain]

We should do it when the final version is released. But it would be 128K only.

Very nice! Then I will wait until that version is released to play on my 6128+ :_)
