The monetization strategy of Wonky Ship has been criticized as a cash grab, with abundant microtransactions that allow new players to gain advantages, particularly through the purchase of ships that offer competitive edges due to their unique hitboxes. This approach has led to concerns about fairness in gameplay, as it creates disparities between paying and non-paying players.
“Abundant microtransactions allow for new players to quickly catch up, creating an even playing field.”
“The $0.99 ships provide a competitive edge due to their different hitboxes.”
“Wonky Ship is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as a cash grab by greedy mobile developers. It's a basic endless runner/physics puzzle game where you must tap on the left and right of your iPhone screen to make the little ship thrust up and to the left or right, so you have a juggling act as you must keep the ship level and moving upwards (or you fall into the black hole at the bottom of your phone screen).”
“Abundant microtransactions allow for new players to quickly catch up, creating an even playing field, but one item, the $0.99 ships, gives too much of a competitive edge due to their different hitboxes.”
