Look, Trumpy Kong - and believe me when I say this, it's true, very true - has kidnapped Lady Liberty, and that is bad, so bad. I heard people say it's the worst thing he has ever done because, and a reliable source has told me that - very reliable, one of the most reliable, it's true - he means to take your freedom. Very sad.
So you, and believe me, that is great, actually one of the greatest things, you know, are Uncle Sam - not like you have been before, but now you are, and that's really, really great, you know - you are Uncle Sam, and you are going to take Lady Liberty - a fine Lady, very fine - back from him.
And when I say this - believe me, it's true, so true - and people I know have told me this too - good people, people who say good things, very good things - it does not matter if you consider yourself liberal or conservative, it does not matter at all. What matters, and it does - believe me, you know that - is that Trumpy Kong must not win because, hear me out fellas, that means Uncle Sam will lose. And if Uncle Sam loses, we all do.
Feels like the type of shit that would've been made in 2016. Promotes the idea that the only solution to tyranny is replacing it with another form of tyranny. Pretends like being a corrupt, lying traitor is something exclusive to Trump, rather than something inherent with anyone exploiting the existence of a political power system to control other people's lives. Even without the stupid message at the end, even the symbolism promotes this facist mindset. The "Hero" is Uncle Sam, U.S., United States, the very existence of any state goes against liberty. If it really cared at all about preventing corruption, about the betterment of people's lives, about standing for liberty, the hero would've been the serpent from the "Do not tread on me" flag. It completely misses the bigger problem and demands people go along with the wrong solution.
TrumpyKong responds:
While true that the alternative to the nacho cheese golem isn't necessarily a superb option, the problem is that "worlds leading democracy" is limited to the embarassing count of two (2) options to choose from. It still makes sense to pick the lesser evil here.
Also true that choosing Uncle Sam, who is a product of propaganda himself, is a bit of a cliche here, but then again it is a figure that anyone from ANY state of the US (emphasis on 'united') should be able to identify with. Since the nation wouldn't exist without its people, Uncle Sam represents every citizen.
The serpent from said flag may at some point in history been adequate, but today it's merely a symbol assimilated by the far right and as such can actually be placed next to Trumpy.
Which is funny, because that's also the general area where facism feels at home. It's not all the same, but they get along well. So, meh, you used the word wrong.
Ironically, you probably knew that already.
A short, fun reimagining of the classic arcade game with a bit of political satire in it. The pixel art in that game looked great to the point it might as well be official. Some tiny nitpicks I would have to say is that I find the hit collision of the bat against the 25m barrels to be shorter than the hammer in the original game and the overbundance of fireballs on 100m made that level quite hard. But overall, I still quite enjoyed this parody and the efforts put in it's creation.
This game made me want to vote for Trump.
Because well, it's short but problem is I just don't like the presentation, just looks out of place for a game that's just Donkey Kong but you replace most of the graphics for left-wing political comics. And not the good kind.
TrumpyKong responds:
Oh but you're wrong.
I replaced ALL of the graphics with bad left-wing political comics.
