Stay Mayor | Free | Android
Our swashbuckling mayor is at it again, and he’s caught in quite the conundrum. There’s a questionable video on the loose and he’s hankering to raise a hell-of-a-lotta cash to quell the suspicions of the respected public. His insatiable appetite for crack and fried chicken (largely indistinguishable from one another due to their terribly addictive properties and propensity to cause euphoria and delusions) are counteracting with one another as he seeks to escape the media herd. As cameramen close in on all sides, he must use his football flinging skills to ward them off and raise enough capital to stay mayor for good! Just remember pixelated mayor, smoking crack is bad, mmm’kay.
