monetization8 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized as a blatant cash grab, with the developer, indielip, using a basic platformer template and asset-flipped sprites to create a low-effort product. The game was quickly bundled into cheap indie game collections and is associated with fake reviews, further emphasizing its exploitative nature. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as deceptive and aimed solely at profit rather than providing quality content.
“The developer, indielip, 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.”
