Zumagotchi

Es su presidente sudafricano favorito, en la palma de su mano!

Zumagotchi is a satirical video game that was originally released shortly before the 2014 national elections. It's got a tiny South African president in it! Think of it as one of those Tamagotchis you no doubt loved the hell out of when you were younger, except instead of looking after an adorable little critter of some form or another, you're tending to the needs of a miniaturised, totally inept pseudo-leader.

As a work of satire, the joy is in the laughs it'll bring. So while the game is designed to be fun to play (and we hope it is), it's really all about delivering tension-relieving smiles by the truckload.

– Nurture your very own Zumagotchi –

Keep your Zumagotchi happy by ensuring he’s well-fed, well-slept and well-entertained, and he’ll reward you by showering you with love (probably not though) and making this country a better place (obviously). Remember, a happy president is a (un)productive president!

– Let the good times roll –

Taking good care of your Zumagotchi means keeping him engaged in fun activities. Play four Zuma-tastic, retro-themed mini-games (and one extra mini-game that’s essentially just a glorified poop-fest) to keep his fun-o-meter filled to bursting with fun-juice! Each mini-game has a uniquely presidential aftertaste.

– Bang for your buck –

If you’ve still got cash to burn even after dealing with e-tolls, the steadily rising petrol price, the ever-inflating cost of South African living and helping to pay for Nkandla, then you’ll be relieved to discover that we’re offering twice the nice for the low, low price of FREE.
