    • “Graphics: pixel art is quite decent.”
    • “A choice was made to use obsolete, decades-old retro pixel art as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”

  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of games developed with Gamemaker Studio is criticized for being heavily focused on retro pixel shovelware and cash grabs, often featuring poorly translated content and coordinated fake reviews to promote low-quality asset flips. This pattern suggests a trend of exploiting the platform for quick financial gain rather than delivering quality gaming experiences.

    • “Gamemaker Studio is most commonly used to make retro pixel shovelware and cash grabs.”
    • “They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly 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.”
