Geometry Rush

[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote] Geometry Rush is a Unity Asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", RewindApp, took the [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/speedbox-game-116513]Speedbox Game[/url] Unity Store tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, Lovatto Studio, changed the name, 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... "Speedbox Game" has also been shamelessly dumped on Steam by other asset flippers apart from RewindApp: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/886490]SPEED BOX[/url]", asset flipped by sakastudio [/list] Take a look for yourself... these are all [i]exactly the same game![/i] RewindApp has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab.

They lack depth and content, because they're just simplistic copies of demos or tutorials. In this case, "Speedbox Game" is just a minimalist/low poly endless runner/dodging game, 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 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: RewindApp 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 RewindApp.
