A game in which one plays as Infrastructure Minister Ian Borg clearing platforms of trees and ‘damaging media reporters’ has taken Malta by storm. Available for Android, the local app was released by ‘Gahan Studios’ and allows one to play as the local minister as he goes about bulldozing trees and ‘eliminating’ pesky reporters.
The game received a total of 17 reviews, all ranking at a whopping full 5 star score, with over 100 downloads. Some called it the best game of 2021 and others echoed the famous ‘Prosit Ministru (Well done Minister)’ catchphrase which often dominates Facebook posts by government entities.
The Minister himself did not as of yet comment on the game, seeing as it does openly criticise his infrastructural and environmental decisions. However, such satirical content does indicate a level of openness towards criticism of authority and, whether or not the game sits well with the Minister himself, it seems to have became immensely addictive for the Maltese population.
