TRUMPOCALYPSE 2020

Summary

The year 2020 has been filled with one disaster after another. Whether it be covid-19, locust swarms, large fires, or some other disaster, the year has also been one of highly charged politics. The United States is undergoing a lot of change, and many are divided.

You play as the picture of freedom, a floating eagle head the size of a small country. Your extremely important role is to glide across the country and rally the people to turn the states blue and defeat the current supreme leader of the states, Trump. You also have to contend with disasters that threaten the very lives of the states, so terrible that the vivid color turns deathly black.

Can you beat Trump in the election? Can you keep States alive for all of 2020?

Find out!

How to Play

2020 has declared war on democracy and the lives of Americans. Traverse the states as 2020 disasters occurs and rally to keep supreme leader Trump from taking over the country.

Using RALLY:
blue state - grants money for the cause
red state - attempt to change the views of the state for 2M
orange state - attempt to change views for 5M

Using SUPPLY:
A state that is in a DISASTER status can be saved if you provide it with 25K supply.

Gain SUPPLY by requesting foreign aid, this will cost 25M

Win the election and prevent the states from perishing to disaster!

Alright, the concept is really hilarious. The twitter panel is an especially nice little touch. Managed to win the election and survive until the end, and definitely laughed a lot while playing that one. Well done !

I love the concept, ADORED the music and sound design, and enjoyed Trump's live tweets. Very nice touch. Good humor and mood, only thing is I had to quit around October because clicking so much was killing my wrist.

I like the approach to the theme and music was nice, I just wish there was a keyboard shortcut because it requires a LOT of clicking.

Funny game! I liked the tweets in the corner, that was funny. I with you didn't have to click so much, it started to hurt after a while. Nice work here!

Haha definitely a funny game :-) Nice work, i could definitely see some idle game elemetns like auto-clickers working well in this game for a cost in a future version. Great work! (The trump tweets were a great addition!)

The game is about as subtle as a sledgehammer but I dont mind.

I ran into some glitches where standing over states and pressing buttons wouldnt work (they were alive) and I couldnt give any supplies to black states, which I think were states in danger but then again I tried every other color and it didnt work either. Besides that, had a lot of fun!

Great concept.

It would be worth adding a smaller map in the top right where you could see the condition of all of the states at once.

@destin715 Black states were dead, yellow was disaster. Only could give supplies to yellow states which turn back to their original color. Sorry for the confusion, I think a text update was missed somewhere when it changes from disaster to dead.
