## What is Poll Wars?

THE NATION IS KEEPING SCORE.
Poll Wars is a one-thumb political-satire arcade game. Pick a side — Team Red or Team Blue — grab a caricature of your favorite (or least favorite) public figure, and grapple your way across an endless news cycle. Every swing banks a vote for your party in a live national tug-of-war. Every player, everywhere, moving one giant scoreboard.
HOW TO PLAY
- HOLD to fire a grappling hook onto a passing news drone and swing.
- RELEASE to slingshot forward — and bank a vote.
- Chain your swings to build momentum and outrun the BREAKING NEWS wall closing in behind you.
- Fall behind, and the news cycle swallows you whole.
Easy to learn, brutal to master. The wall never stops closing in — and the longer you survive, the faster it comes.
FEATURES
- 18 parody caricatures — 9 for Team Red, 9 for Team Blue.
- A LIVE national vote counter: every run by every player moves Red vs Blue.
- Defect anytime — switch sides and fight for the other team.

### 5/5 — INFURIATINGLY FUN

*2026-07-30*

Reminiscent of Flappy Bird making us throw our phones across the room, this game adds the additional U. S. political layer and gives us a place to release some of the frustration around all that noise.

Of course, the world's real political parties, beliefs, and issues are never so dichotomous and clean-cut…

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-04

SMOOTHER. That's the whole update.

We went hunting for every stutter in the game and found the culprit hiding
in the last place we looked: the sound effects. They were doing too much
work inside a single frame, which is exactly why the game hitched right as
your combo text popped up — the moment you least wanted it to.

Fixed. Swings are clean now, even deep into a fast run.

• Rebuilt the sound engine so effects can never interrupt a frame
• Game rendering moved onto its own dedicated thread
• No more hitch when multipliers, popups, or score text appear
• Steadier frame rate from the first swing to the last

Thanks to everyone who told us it felt choppy. You were right, and you were
specific enough that we could actually find it.

Now go swing. The scoreboard is waiting.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-08-03

The National Board is here — claim your @handle, see your national rank, and find out what percent of the country you just beat. Plus a rebuilt game engine for smoother swings and a cleaner one-screen home.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-28

The nation is keeping score — now in full.
• Live national vote counts show the REAL number — every vote, no more rounding.
• Smoother grappling that stays responsive even when you're tapping fast.
• Stability and performance fixes under the hood.
Red or Blue — pick your side and swing.
