Break the Web

Break The Web is a 3D retro pixel DooM clone that's been slapped together with the godawful GameMaker Studio video game construction kit from Yoyogames. It's got a rather tacky, lazy 1990's Vaporwave theme and annoying vaporwave music. In a (slightly) welcome departure from most godawful 2D retro pixel platformer GameMaker Studio template flip shovelware, here we have a 3D retro platformer instead. I'm not sure if that makes it much better. At least it has 3D graphics? That's something, right? I don't think this is a cash grab, it's a very rare case where someone genuinely tried to make a game but didn't know how so they used the GameMaker Studio construction kit instead of being a proper game developer. On the other hand, they did dump this into cheap indie game bundles, which is almost always a cash grab move. GameMaker Studio is a very poor quality game construction kit, and unsurprisingly results in products that have little to no value as games, especially when compared to the work of professional developers who create genuine products for gamers. Using a video game construction kit requires little to no talent or skill as a game developer. Very often, GameMaker Studio is used to make shovelware and lazy cash grabs. Like most GameMaker Studio construction kit "games", this features lazy retro "art", instead of professionally done, contemporary PC graphics. Controls and resolution are locked, which pushes this below acceptable standards for PC.
