[b][quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote][/b]
Bullet Time is a Unity Asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", indiegames3000, took the [url=https://forum.unity.com/threads/released-full-game-kit-hammer-2.353481/]Full Game Kit - Hammer 2[/url] Unity Store tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, XForm Games, changed the name, reskinned it with a bunch of stolen "Funko Pop" Unity assets (also unattributed to the actual creator, more plagiarism) and dumped the result onto Steam. They're attempting to scam people into buying this, so they can get your money for someone else's work.
It gets worse... "Full Game Kit - Hammer 2" has also been shamelessly dumped on Steam by other asset flippers apart from indiegames3000:

Take a look for yourself... these are all [i]exactly the same game![/i]
indiegames3000 has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab. Here's some examples so you can see for yourself:

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, "Full Game Kit - Hammer 2" is just a template for making a low poly third person shooter/vehicle action game ripoff of GTA4, and doesn't have any merit as a proper, fully fledged PC game, so this 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 like this are harmful to the gaming industry and to Steam because they reduce the visibility that sincerely made indie games should have, and make it harder for gamers to find real games from genuine developers.
Another important Note: indiegames3000 have been caught using fake reviews on their games in an attempt to mislead gamers by creating a fake positive review score. The reviews are all from known/compromised pay-per-review accounts, all in Russian or broken English, and show as Steam purchasers (to make the fake reviews count). The fake reviews are all posted within roughly 24 hours of each other, and usually shortly after the game launch. There's no evidence of fake reviews on this game, but that may change in future. Gamers have a right to know when developers act in a highly unethical manner.
Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from indiegames3000.
[b][quote][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/quote][/b]
Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.
