The monetization strategy of the game is heavily criticized as a blatant cash grab, with the developer using a basic platformer template and asset-flipped sprites to quickly release low-quality products on Steam. This approach is further underscored by the game's inclusion in cheap shovelware bundles shortly after launch, reinforcing its reputation as a scam.
“The Russian asset flipper, 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.”
“Here's some other asset flips from exactly the same template, all shamelessly dumped on Steam as nasty cash grabs.”
“To cement the position of this asset flip as nothing but a cash grab, it was dumped onto cheap, nasty shovelware bundles very shortly after launch.”
