The monetization strategy of this game has been heavily criticized as a blatant cash grab, characterized by the use of copied assets and templates, leading to accusations of it being shovelware or a scam. Reviewers highlight the developers' history of unethical practices, including the use of fake accounts to generate misleading reviews, and the low price point of $12 is seen as unjustifiable given the quality and originality of the product. Overall, the game's monetization approach is viewed as exploitative and lacking integrity.
“The status of this thing as nothing but an asset/template flip/cash grab is cemented by the developers' prior history of asset flip/construction kit copy+paste jobs, the fake/compromised Steam accounts they used to write fake reviews (all with the same broken English), the laughable $12 USD price tag for this garbage, and the way they dumped it into dailyindiegame bundles immediately at launch.”
“Dnovel/My Way Games have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab.”
“Robot Robert has the cash grab scam price of $12 USD, for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games, let alone the sheer number of free games available on Steam.”
