Why ever did they name this game Perestroika, I'll never know. After seeing the title screen I really thought it would be some thinking game connected with micromanagement or something similar, but instead…

Oh well, it’s not that the game is bad. The idea is very simple. You’re the little figure that has to cross the screen to get to the money, by jumping from one vanishing platform to the other. If you can’t jump onto one, you’ll simply fall into water and lose a life. Once you collect the coins on the other side, you’ll progress to the next level. There are some other goodies on the way you can pick up and you start off with three lives.

But the game developer named every little thing you see in the game in a reference to the political situation.

So the little disappearing platforms you get to jump on are actually laws and edicts and you’re a democrat, riding the ever changing laws. On the way you can collect some dots. The blue ones are grocery goods, the pink ones are currency transactions, the orange ones are progressive taxes and the red ones adventures. The coins in the end are the stages of development toward a better life. Oh yeah, and those big guys that irritate the hell out of you are the bureaucrats (naturally).

The thing about this game is that it’s not so important to which level you get to, but how many things (from the total number of offered things – those little dots) you have picked up, because that’s what the statistic shows in the end, even though the game keeps a high score list as well.

Unfortunately the game has a serious flaw. If you can’t collect anything you’ll get annoyed by those dancing bureaucrats so much, you’d rather quit the game than have to face them again. But then again, isn’t the solemn reason for any bureaucracy to annoy you into passiveness….
