monetization
4 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized as a blatant cash grab, characterized by the use of low-quality asset flips and rapid deployment onto Steam and cheap bundles. Reviewers highlight the presence of fake reviews and the developer's reliance on a template from a poorly regarded game construction toolkit, suggesting a lack of genuine effort or quality in the product.
“The developer, dnovel/freeanimals_software, took a template from the godawful cocos-2d game construction toolkit, 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.”
