Funny game
I liked it a lot, the satire about a very serious subject.
I built a lot of missile bases and a US post and kept spamming missiles at the Palestinians and asking the US for money, I ended up with 256 Palestinians killed with only 3 casualties.
"That's 85.3 Palestinians killed for every Israeli casualty! This is beyond incredible... Are you the messiah?" -Israeli Prime Minister
loved it
im in for the total package. fun game, valid satyre... not gonna get involved in all the preaching being done here, the game was great
Good game
I liked the satire as much as the game itself. Very good job.
Game is good but bias
I've given the game a 6. It would have been 7 but your game poses itself as educational when it is in fact bias.
As a Politics students I can appreciate different view points, and the entire conflict in and around Gaza is one where you will find many viewpoints. However I personally find it distasteful to try and say one side is right and the other was wrong.
If you saw you neighbour wheeling a huge missile into their garden and pointing it at a neighbouring country would you inform the authorities? I hope so. Yes the Israelis are gung ho about things (who can blame them being taught by Americans...) but don't forget they are a tiny country surrounded by multiple enemies a lot of which have been quoted (quotes from speeches in fact) as saying they wish to see Israel and it's people wiped off the face of the earth. If your country was surrounded by such enemies I'm sure you'd want to take action.
It is a case of 6 of one and half a dozen of the other. Both sides have their faults, those Hezbollah rockets don't always miss and I can guarantee they don't miss for lack of trying.
The game is good but simple, a small diversion that is nicely made, just either make clear this is your viewpoint or actually be less bias and I wouldn't have a problem with it.
quite sad
For anyone below who has ranted and raved about this game I believe you have missed the point that was being made...
this game was used as a satire for the war much as a lot of satire was made about the vietnam war before it. this game was obviously not meant to be funny and the the general jollyness that is portrayed is used for satire purposes not as a means to get a laugh out of it.
This tactic is used quite often by a lot of organisations. A member of PETA for example uses jolly looking games in order to preach about the evils of the fur trade and carnivourism. the irony being that I found THAT more offensive than this. personally I do not agree with this method of proving a point as I feel that is exploitive and overbearing yet I personally have no problem with it being on a public site and belive me I am a very opinionated person.
So therefore please dont just flame him....
this is a website promoting free speech is it not?
