It's a tough job preventing politicians from uttering gaffes. Take President Biden's infamous "go lick the world" comment, for example – a moment that surely caused White House staff worldwide to cringe. This inspired the satirical mobile game, Go Lick The World, from Pixel Play.
This clicker game cleverly blends the absurdity of current events with the addictive gameplay of the genre. The objective? Lick the world (virtually, of course!) as fast as possible. Tap the rotating 3D Earth, accumulating points and aiming for leaderboard supremacy.
Boost your score by tapping LickLink satellites (a Starlink parody), F-35s, electric cars, and even Lick Force One (Biden's plane). Earthly targets include the White House, Antarctica, the pyramids, and a less-than-pristine San Francisco.
The game's quirky charm extends to its daily rotating items: Impeach-Mints on Mondays, tacos on Tuesdays, Swifties on Saturdays, and pizza slices for Pizzagate enthusiasts.
Unlockable Earth skins and accessories add another layer of fun, including a "clown world" face, various hats (a trucker hat, Uncle Sam hat, a Texas cowboy hat with a censored border sign), and solar eclipse glasses. These are earned by watching ads. A recent update, "The Great Debate Update," even features a certain prominent figure's iconic hairstyle.
Go Lick The World is free (with optional in-app purchases to remove ads, enable auto-clicking, and get a blue profile tick). Download it now on the App Store and Google Play.
UPDATE: The Great Debate Update includes trucker hats representing both sides of the political spectrum, along with Trump's hair.
