TRUMP: Political Shapeshifter by Brice

[raw]
made by Brice for LD35 (COMPO)
(NOTE: I do not endorse Donald Trump. This is a parody)

Donald Trump is a political shapeshifter, radically changing how he acts and what he stands for in order to win each stage of the U.S. Presidential Election. He began as an outrageous TV personality, has now moved to a slightly more subdued Republican frontrunner. Some suspect that if he receives the nomination, will move to a more presidential-sounding moderate candidate in order to win.

Play as Donald and make OUTRAGEOUS, CONSERVATIVE, or PRESIDENTIAL comments, depending on the stage.

A fun game? Or a terrifying reality? You decide!

FEATURES:
* Over 50 REAL quotes made by Donald Trump (yes, they are all real)
* An 8-bit version of his voice
* 3 exciting levels, each with different speech strategies
* Where else will you find Donald Trump pixel art?

Enjoy!

I honestly had this exact same thought when brainstorming! I'm glad that your game came out so well. I liked the styling of the game and the donald trump pixel art was beautiful. Great interpretation of the theme.

We had similar ideas! Yours turned out much better, though. I really liked the 8-bit voice.

Excellent. I really love the compressed Trump audio clips and your pixel art rendition of the man himself is just perfect. Great choice of quotes as well.

Shame it didn't end with him flatout Shapeshifting into a tentacle abomination and laying waste to the world, but still great!

I always enjoy a nice satirical game :) Nide work, and a unique take on the theme!

I can't believe there are only two Trump parodies in the whole jam (and the other one is about reptilians...)

Great presentation, great message (political elections are most certainly a game). Using real quotes is the masterstroke here.

My only qualm is the old-school Unity web player, which many browsers don't support anymore. You should look into the HTML5 WebGL build option.

Nice stuff. Taking the theme and making a statement haha. I like the Zelda II "game over return of ganon" esque trump on the interim slides.

Great entry! You used a clever take on the theme and the retro visuals are really well made (I found your game from your tutorial on adapting photos to pixel-art, thanks for that!). Oh, and nice music, too!

@nickavv Good eye! Yep, it's the RETURN OF GANON screen was 100% the inspiration. I basically copied it.

@Ithildin You bet! I'll have to do a music tutorial post tomorrow

Nice polished package - the gameplay here is a little slight, but it all works really well, and the sound and graphics are great.

Great job man! Your post on the pixel art led me here. Really nice job, and I might use your technique someday :D

Scary but true!! Nice work on this interpretation of shapeshifting. Well done. Believe me. And I'll make Mexico pay for it. (I know the quotes well! I made a Trump combover monster game a few Ludum Dares ago, back when we was just one of 16 Republican candidates: http://ludumdare.com/compo/2015/09/13/the-donald-wants-you-to-be-a-winner/)

Funny, the humor part of the game was pretty good. If that was your main goal, then this game is a complete success.

Gameplay is unfortunately a bit boring (too easy?) if you take out the humor from it. I think it would've been better if we had limited number of choices so we really needed to read the messages and pick the appropriate (sic!) one.

Overall a decent entry, good job!

I love how well this fits with the theme. The quotes from Trump about changing really nails it.

It's different for sure :D And what makes it scary is that these are all real quotes from him :P

Nice work

I'm very happy to see a game that deals with political issues. It's a pity that there are not many more, because I think it's an excellent viewpoint of the theme. The parody mood makes it more enjoyable, and not less meaningful. In my opinion this is a very good way to let people understand how dangerous Trump actually is. Well done!

So as the token Trump game of LD, this was quite good. The graphics were simple, but did the trick and the voice was a nice touch, too. The gameplay was more compelling than I figured, as sometimes a statement didn't immediately form into my mind as something that I'd necessarily call conservative, controvercial or presidential. The thing is though, the joke behind it felt very tired to me. Yes, Trump says awful things and is a bad politician, I think anyone with more than two functional brain cells can figure that much. I guess what I'm trying to get at is that unlike some of the commenters here, I didn't see it as particularly profound or "making as statement" as much as I saw it as a fun game to play.
