AE86 EUROBEAT DRIFT is an asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", deadworld games, took a template from the craptastic Construct 2 construction kit, slapped a couple of asset flipped sprites on it, and dumped the results onto Steam as a cash grab scam.
deadworld games has shown a repeated pattern of ripping off Construct 2 templates and dumping them on Steam, and this is a prime example of their asset flipping.
Don't believe me? Here's some other asset flips from exactly the same template, all shamelessly dumped on Steam as nasty cash grabs:

Look for yourself... these are all reskins/copy+pastes of the same game template!
The products that result from asset flips aren't "real" games. They lack depth and content, because they're just simplistic copies of demos or tutorials. In this case, "AE86 EUROBEAT DRIFT" is just a very basic 2D minimalist "gear tunnel" game template from Construct 2 where you must avoid touching the walls, and doesn't have any merit as a proper, fully fledged PC game, so a copy+paste of it can't be recommended.
Asset flips don't involve any professional game development. Sure, sometimes they may change a few cosmetic things, swap out different assets etc, but at heart it's functionally identical to the asset they're ripping off. Asset flips are an insult to both PC gamers and to professional game developers who create genuine, high quality PC games. Asset flips like this are harmful to the gaming industry and to Steam because they reduce the visibility that sincerely made indie games should have. They make it harder for gamers to find genuine games made by honest developers.
To cement the position of this asset flip as nothing but a cash grab, it was dumped onto cheap DailyIndieGame shovelware bundles very shortly after launch. Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from deadworld games.
