Avocado Puzzle Quest

Avocado Puzzle Quest is yet another asset flip/construction kit template copy+paste from serial Russian shovelware asset flippers, Dnovel/FreeAnimals_Software/Trinity Project/Studio2760 (they keep using a variety of accounts to mislead gamers and hide their identity as asset flip scammers). These guys do nothing but copy asset store assets and game tutorials, fill out a few things/stamp out basic levels using the construction kit templates, and dump them on Steam and into DailyIndieGame bundles as cash grabs. This one has been dumped into Early Access, it's not even complete, but they dumped it on Steam as a cash grab anyway. It will never be completed, the developer simply seeks to abuse Valve's Early Access program to try get paid for an unfinished game. They're already working on another game. This should be no surprise from these Russian asset flip scammers who've shown a repeated pattern of this kind of fraud. Today's "effort" from these guys is a garbage copy + paste of a Cocos2D template for a pathing puzzle game. As a game, it's terrible, of course. It's similar to a weak kind of Sokoban game where you must collect objects with limited numbers of moves by following the right path. For that reason, this is below acceptable standards, and has no real merit or value as a genuine, sincerely made PC game. Unethically, the developer sold keys to this abandoned Early Access game into cheap, nasty game bundles, where they knew it would be advertised and sold as a complete game. This seems to have been done in an attempt to mislead gamers into buying a knowingly faulty, defective and incomplete product. When a developer does this for a game they have zero practical intention of completing, this is essentially a scam, an intention to get paid for a broken/unfinished product. Often this is done as an exit strategy, as the developer takes the money and runs. No refunds have been given, the developer kept all the money they took from gamers. Using game construction kits doesn't need any talent or professional game development effort, and results in shallow, low quality shovelware like Acocado Quest. The status of this thing as nothing but an asset/template flip/cash grab is cemented by the "developers" prior history of asset flip/construction kit copy+paste jobs, the fake/compromised Steam accounts they used to write fake reviews (all with the same broken English), the laughable $20 USD price tag for this garbage, and they way they dumped it into DailyIndieGame bundles immediately at launch. There's no serious value, substance or merit here worthy of consideration from PC gamers. I can't recommend it to anyone. [quote][url=https://mmofallout.com/valve-bans-titles-for-review-manipulation/]Warning: Review Manipulation![/url][/quote] This game features a number of fake positive reviews from accounts known to be in the business of review manipulation/paid reviews. They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear almost immediately after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams. The "Positive" review score on this game should be disregarded due to this review manipulation.
