The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as exploitative and unethical, with accusations of plagiarism and asset flipping. Reviewers highlight a pattern of developers using uncredited work from other creators to produce low-quality games, often accompanied by fake reviews to mislead potential buyers. Overall, the approach is seen as a blatant cash grab rather than a genuine gaming experience.
“The developers here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets, so this is plagiarism as well as a cash grab.”
“Puzzle games have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab through this account or closely linked/alternate accounts.”
“The reviews are all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time shortly after the game launched on Steam, and the accounts are consistently used to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs.”
