The monetization strategy of these games is heavily criticized for relying on cheap, asset-flipped content and pre-made templates, leading to accusations of being cash grabs or shovelware. Reviewers express concern that the developers prioritize profit over originality and quality, undermining the gaming experience.
“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 cheap, nasty shovelware 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 or cash grab.”

The game's graphics are characterized by a lazy minimalist style with untextured low-polygon assets, reminiscent of early 1990s 3D games. This approach is perceived as a lack of effort from the developers, who attempt to frame the simplistic visuals as an artistic choice rather than a shortcoming. Overall, many players feel that this aesthetic detracts from the gaming experience.
“The lack of textures is a method that lazy developers often use to disguise their lack of talent or interest in doing the graphics properly, trying to pass it off as 'art' or 'we made it look bad on purpose.' This is not something gamers should have to put up with.”
“The graphics look outdated and lack detail, making the game feel less immersive and engaging.”
“Character models are poorly designed and animations are stiff, which detracts from the overall experience.”
