  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's music aspect is severely lacking, with users noting the complete absence of any sound or music, contrary to what the trailer suggests. Reviewers express disappointment, rating the music a 0/10, and some speculate that the silence may be an intentional design choice. Overall, the lack of audio significantly detracts from the gaming experience.

    • “Painstakingly simplistic game and level design, okay programming, hardly any animations at all (and all the assets look like basic clip art) and there's no music (despite what the trailer suggests), sound effects, or bonuses.”
    • “Music: 0/10”
    • “The game has absolutely no sound or music, so perhaps the player is supposed to consider what the world would be like without hearing, even if one had such large ears.”
  • monetization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized as a cash grab, with the developer using a basic platformer template and asset-flipped sprites to quickly release a low-quality product on Steam. The game was also included in cheap indie bundles shortly after launch, further emphasizing its exploitative nature, and there are concerns about fake reviews promoting these types of scams.

    • “The developer, Vyacheslav Shilikhin, took the basic platformer template from Construct 2, slapped a couple of asset-flipped sprites on it, and dumped the results onto Steam as a cash grab scam.”
    • “To cement the position of this asset flip as nothing but a cash grab, it was dumped onto cheap daily indie game shovelware bundles very shortly after launch.”
    • “They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear almost immediately after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”
