    This is obviously satire so please lighten up folks!

    Newly elected President Ronald Trumpet has ordered you to secure our borders.

    In 2015 there were 16 million undocumented immigrants leaving in the United States. On November 08 2016 a new president by the name of Ronald Trumpet was elected. The very next day President Ronald ordered the National Guard to stop anyone from entering the United States on both the Mexican and Canadian borders.

    The president has given you full command of the National Guard and other secret elite forces to secure the border. Use your strategic skills to prevent anyone from crossing. Don't be caught off guard by the many surprises that await you.

    *Action/Strategy Game*

    - Enlist soldiers to protect and guard the border.
    - Build oil rigs to produce oil.
    - Convert oil to gold and build a bigger army.

    Being a former National Guardsman myself, I question our classification as "secret elite forces." ;)

    While the art is quite nice, and the premise sufficiently tongue-in-cheek, I have to point out that I find the whole idea severely lacking in taste, especially because from the store screenshots that you'll be attacking unarmed civilians.

    Maybe I'm wrong and the game is actually intended to subvert hateful thinking and demonstrate how America as a land of opportunity has an obligation to provide a path to citizenship for any seeking our freedoms in the same way our forefathers sought them out when colonizing the area. Maybe the whole point is that hate-mongering rhetoric from insane businessmen who decided to become involved in politics can lead to dangerous thinking that can only logically end in heinous and deplorable crimes against humanity.

    If that's the case, then... looks great!

    Edit: I totally missed the big notice at the top. Still find the taste to be questionable, even for satire, but nonetheless... My bad. :p

    Hi! Thanks for the reply, you are the first feedback I've received and hopefully there will be a lot more. The more feedback, the more I can adjust the narrative it fit more along the lines of the "insane business man" point of view. My initial storyline is trying to point out how ridiculously absurd the whole thing is. The name of the president tries to point out how "he" wants to mask himself behind a certain individual. Our "elite" forces showing the overly aggressive military might against mere civilians. The inclusion of the Canadian border to point out more ridiculousness. The whole thing is meant to be just overly ridiculously absorbedly patriotically HUGE!

    A couple of things to point out though. First, not that it really matters but it's really quite hard to strategically defeat the game in the upper levels. It’s a real game and is pretty fun once you start playing and can get over the name and silly descriptions. Second, because this is a very real and sensitive topic that could actually be quite possible the way things are looking. I made sure no characters actually depicted immigrants or referenced any country in the game.

    Thanks!

    I love that you make fun of such a politically sensitive topic.

    I downloaded this onto my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, 8". The scenes seem to be truncated on the left and the right. I can't see some of the right and left text on the instructions page. In the first game, I can only see the oil rig, I can't see a soldier to deploy. Problem??

    I hope your game is hugely successful. And I hope it gets up the noses of all those PC zealots in the world :)

    Thanks for your comments and I'll look into the aspect ratio problem. Before the first level starts you should be able to select 2 units, the wooden crate for defense and Soldier 1 for offense. You have to select these units in order to be able to use them when you start the level. Did you select your units first? If you did, are saying that they arent there or are they out of the screen area?

    This is very very cool. Be careful though, social justice warriors don't get satire!

    But anyways, lovely game!

    Pretty cool game! It's pretty disturbing though to just shoot up a bunch of civilians in a plants vs zombie style game.

    Also, are you trying to refer the first guard unit as white skinheads? White skinheads shooting on unarmed Mexicans.

    Overall good job!

    Hello, NO! A lot of army guys have a buzz cut, there are no racial undertones to this game whats so ever. None of the enemies depict Mexicans nor any other ethnic group. Thanks for the feedback, I'll add some dots to his head so it looks more like a buzz cut. Also, I think there is probably one civilian unarmed, the game gets kinda hard after around level 4 when they really start attacking back. Don't for get to check out the extra zombie level.

    I don't like your game solely on the thought it makes me think of a situation where donald trump is actually elected. lmao.

    But seriously satires always fun, seems you've found your target audience.

    First of all thank you! I know this is just satire but some of us like Donald Trump and happen to agree with a lot of his policies so I’m all for any kind of publicity for him. Secondly nice game! I really enjoy playing it.
