Gravity Ball

[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote] Gravity Ball is a Unity Asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", RewindApp, took the [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/gravity-ball-2d-dynamic-lights-and-shadows-50622]Gravity Ball 2D Dynamic Lights and Shadows[/url] Unity Store tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, App Advisory, 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. RewindApp 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: [list] [*] "Hammer 2" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/full-game-kit-hammer-2-43670]Full Game Kit - Hammer 2[/url] developed by XForm Games [*] "Rampage Miami" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/full-game-kit-hammer-2-43670]Full Game Kit -

They lack depth and content, because they're just simplistic copies of demos or tutorials. In this case, "Gravity Ball 2D Dynamic Lights and Shadows" is just an ultra minimalist mobile app endless "runner" where the player dodges obstacles by moving left and right while travelling up screen, 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. Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from RewindApp.
