Who knew the Murder of many innocent indigenous people was so fun. The United States sure knew what was up

time has told me this was assuredly not it

aged considerably worse than I imagined in most respects except possibly the artstyle

I could just dismiss this as a cheap mobile game and move on, but the truth is that I used to spend dozens of hours on it, experimenting with the many different ways to abuse the pygmies.
My score is not just childhood nostalgia, I think the game truly deserves it with the amount of content it has.

Was reminded of this game earlier today so that makes this another instance of "oh yeah, I did play this". The whole gimmick of this game was its sandboxy approach, as the game has tons of interactable things in it that really got me thinking "so what if I try doing X with Y thing". Those kinds of vibes. I also remember the devs kept trying to update it frequently but always released updates later than they promised, and I do remember the last bits of content being really bad and meme-y (they literally made a whole charlie sheen parody NPC for some reason). I also stopped really getting into this as most of the sandbox invoves killing the little islander dudes in rather gruesome ways and mans never really has been a fan of that kind of thing.

also im pretty sure looking in the grand scheme of things this game is pretty racist so yea. while it definitely killed many hours of time back when i played this on my ipod touch/ipad, it's def kinda cringe to think back on nowadays


In hind-sight, it was probably a bad idea to have a game on the App-Store where kids who were rich enough to have an smartphone in 2010 are made to kill a tribe of dark-skinned island-dwelling pygmies.

Anyway even ignoring that, the game is pretty boring and repetitive even for a free app, to the point where most of the updates were just to add 2010 memes or parodies of better apps like Doodle Jump.

I got grounded for taking my brother's iPad to school.

my mom had a windows phone and for some reason this game was installed
i remember it SUCKED because i couldnt get any of the cool events to happen that i saw in youtube videos
in hindsight i bet it was like an offline version that never updated or some shit

I played this so much in 4th grade. In retrospect it's kinda vaguely racist.

looking back at it this game was kinda racist

Quite fun and really funny, recommended for all ages.

I used to think this game was amazing when I was little but now it's just eh

I think this one might be a little racist

🗿YOU KNOW YOU LIKE POCKET GOD🗿

for some reason i never bothered to just cave in and pay the 1$ entry to play this despite adoring everything about it. i hate myself sometimes

Such an odd iOS classic, still goated ngl

Another classic iOS game, definitely many hours experimenting and trying to get different achievements. Poor pygmies. Did have some IAPs to continue the story though, which is a little gross.

From my childhood. Not very good. Shallow and repetitive.

Why in the sublime hell did my childhood self enjoy this utterly racist game? I would give this game zero stars if I could.

I AM A GOD COMPARED TO YOU. I LIVE IN A PENTHOUSE. YOU ARE A FUCKING HILLBILLY.

yaknow, i dont think 10 year old me was too concerned with racism at the time

The golden era of mobile gaming. If this game came out now, it would be massively restricted and limiting, stuffed with adverts and micro-transactions, and it would suck ass. Loved this from my childhood.

one of the the biggest proliferaters of what I'd call the modern "fad game design". everything about it. it started as a barebones god game of sorts where all you really do is fuck around with some freaky little caricatures, but it took advantage of its hardware in at the time novel ways and had a premise still kind of unique to this day, "we will add new content every week". of course that couldn't really keep up, but it rewarded you as an early adopter with little surprises every week. a fad.

when the already shallow pool of ideas ran thin, they took to chasing after other people's fads, from random ongoing memes (double rainbow, charlie sheen is winning/ a tiger, etc) and adding in significantly worse copies of other popular mobile games.

if you were to turn the game on today, all you really get is a few screens full of dated gags. you click an object and something silly or strange happens. far from the response it was made for, my personal fascination with this game is changed by time. a quaint little toy, a product of the turbulent time it was made in with the rise of the smartphone, and shockingly unfunny. it holds a similar appeal to a dead MMO, this was made for somebody and was once a live, active thing. it was never built to last, and it's hard to say if anybody really cares at all.

This was the first game I ever played on a smart phone, on my childhood crush's dad's iPhone 3GS. Which blew my mind at the time. I enjoyed terrorizing all the poor little problematically-portrayed island people, and discovering all the secrets the game had to offer.

This was my favorite game as a tween.


Bro WHAT is this cover art LMAO
