The monetization strategy of this game has been heavily criticized as a blatant cash grab, with accusations of the developers relying on asset flips and incomplete products to exploit the Steam platform. Users have pointed out the use of fake reviews and compromised accounts to mislead potential buyers, further solidifying the perception of this title as a scam rather than a legitimate game. The low price point of $3 is seen as an attempt to attract unsuspecting players to a poorly executed product.
- “These guys do nothing but copy asset store assets and game tutorials, fill out a few things/stamp out basic levels using the construction kit templates, and dump them on Steam and into daily indie game bundles as cash grabs.”
- “Cementing the position of this as a cash grab scam, the developers decided to abuse Steam Early Access by releasing this in an incomplete state and then moved on to other projects.”
- “The status of this game as nothing but an asset/template flip/cash grab is cemented by the developers' prior history of asset flip/construction kit copy-and-paste jobs, the fake/compromised Steam accounts they used to write fake reviews, the laughable $3 USD price tag for this garbage, and the way they dumped it into daily indie game bundles immediately at launch.”
