The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as exploitative, with reviewers labeling it as a cash grab that relies on copying existing game templates and assets rather than original content. This approach is seen as a form of shovelware, raising concerns about the integrity and value of the product being offered.
- “These guys do nothing but copy premade game templates and game tutorials, fill out a few things, stamp out basic levels using the construction kit templates, slap on an asset-flipped set of sprites/assets, and dump them on Steam and into daily indie game bundles as cash grabs.”
- “Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates and assets... at best, this is shovelware; at worst, it's a scam/cash grab.”
