It's a thankless task: preventing politicians from uttering gaffes. Consider President Biden's infamous invitation to an Irish audience to "go lick the world." This incident, among others, inspired the creation of "Go Lick The World," a satirical casual clicker game from Pixel Play.
This game cleverly blends the absurdity of modern politics with the addictive simplicity of the clicker genre. The objective? To virtually lick the globe as rapidly as possible (using your finger, naturally). The rotating 3D Earth is surrounded by an array of tappable objects. Each tap earns points, fueling your climb up the leaderboard.
Boost your score by tapping LickLink satellites (a playful nod to Starlink), F-35 jets, electric cars, and even Lick Force One – the President's plane. On Earth, you'll encounter humorous landmarks like the White House, Antarctica, the Pyramids, and a less-than-savory representation of San Francisco.
The game's content is dynamically updated. Mondays feature Impeach-Mints, Tuesdays Tacos, Saturdays Swifties, and pizza slices for Pizzagate enthusiasts. A variety of unlockable Earth skins and accessories, including a "clown world" face and various hats, add to the amusement. These are often obtained through rewarded video ads. A recent "Great Debate Update" even introduced a certain prominent figure's iconic hairstyle.
While the core gameplay is free, in-app purchases (IAPs) allow for ad removal, automated clicking (dubbed LickGPT), and a coveted blue profile tick. Download "Go Lick The World" for free on the App Store and Google Play Store.
UPDATE: The recent Great Debate Update includes trucker hats representing both sides of the political spectrum, plus a Trump-inspired hair option.
