  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of this game has been heavily criticized as a cash grab, with accusations of the developers relying on asset flips and low-quality templates. Users point to the suspicious use of fake reviews and the quick bundling of the game into discount packages as further evidence of exploitative practices, all for a questionable $10 price tag.

    • “These guys do nothing but rip off asset store assets and game tutorials and templates, and dump them on Steam and into Daily Indie Game bundles as cash grabs.”
    • “The status of this game as nothing but an asset flip cash grab is cemented by the developers' prior history of asset flip and construction kit scams, the fake and compromised Steam accounts they used to write fake reviews (all with the same broken English), the laughable $10 USD price tag for this garbage, and the way they dumped it into Daily Indie Game bundles immediately at launch.”
