Polandball: Not Safe for World is a Mobile Phone Game based on the Polandball comics by Sunny Chow released in 2017. You play as Poland (or any other country) and help USA keep control of the world by sorting out problems when they appear. This sometimes requires you to use one of many available weapons. You lose once the world becomes too depressed. There are additional game modes, including Emu War and one based on Donald Trump's wall, hats, as well as several unlockable comics and cutscenes.

In 2018, there was an attempt to make Polandball: Not Safe for World Goodest Edition on Kickstarter, which would have been a PC port with more features and improved graphics, but it failed to reach the funding goal.


This game provides examples of:

  • Adjustable Censorship: The iOS version has some censorship, but you can unlock an option to turn it off by tapping the Mac in the credits screen 20 times.
  • Alien Abduction: A 6ball (this universe's representation of aliens) may show up and try to abduct other balls.
  • Cel Shading: It's lightly used to make the countries look more like they do in the comics.
  • Critical Annoyance: A siren will start once the world's happiness runs low.
  • Expressive Health Bar: The face next to the happiness meter (which is effectively a health bar) changes expression as the world turns angry.
  • Good Cop/Bad Cop: USA mentions that's the idea, where he just sits innocent and you do the dirty work.
  • Greedy Jew: Israel shows up as a shopkeeper, with a happy expression and a safe next to him.
  • Longer-Than-Life Sentence: Game over by friendly fire causes you get all imaginable sactions put on you "forever and forever, 100 years".
  • Loot Boxes: You can open boxes for a chance at unlocking a country for 100 coins each or unlocking hats for 150 G each.
  • Shows Damage: Hurt countries have a black eye and are saddened.
  • You Lose at Zero Trust: You have a bar which shows how happy the world is which depletes when countries cause problems. If it goes down completely, it's game over.
  • Zombie Apocalypse: One of the hazards is a zombie apocalypse, where a ball becomes a zombie (basically has AIDS, ebola, rabies, and all other viruses) and starts infecting other countries.
