Neon Circle

NeonCirlce is a template/asset flip from serial copy+paste ripoff merchants, Dnovel/FreeAnimals_Software/Trinity Project, that is to say, it's a "game" that has been produced by copying a game template from Cocos2D and changing a few things. In this case it was a game construction kit/template for doing a simple rotating maze/ball physics puzzle. They've copy+pasted this exact same template several times (including LP, White Rabbit, RotateX etc). This template is a pretty bad one, it's so bad that even RewindApp (serial, nasty Russian asset flippers) did an asset flip with it with "Obscurity". This is deplorably low quality bundle trash. No professional effort was made in terms of game development, copying a template/using a game construction kit requires no talent, and unsurprisingly produces products that have little to no value as games, especially when compared to the work of professional developers who create genuine products for gamers. It's almost as bad as an outright asset flip. Dnovel/Studio2760 have 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] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1440850]LP[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/freeze-x-mission-114462]Freeze: X Mission[/url] developed by Andrew Oleynik [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1069270]Rotatex[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/freeze-x-mission-114462]Freeze: X Mission[/url] developed by Andrew Oleynik [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1474860]Rotatex 2[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/freeze-x-mission-114462]Freeze: X Mission[/url] developed by Andrew Oleynik [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1420950]Spinning_Kid[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/freeze-x-mission-114462]Freeze: X Mission[/url] developed by Andrew Oleynik [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1447070]Spinning_Kid_2[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/freeze-x-mission-114462]Freeze: X Mission[/url] developed by Andrew Oleynik [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1475150]White Rabbit[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/freeze-x-mission-114462]Freeze: X Mission[/url] developed by Andrew Oleynik [/list] [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. This is nothing but a lazy, greedy cash grab (as demonstrated by the ridiculous $10 price tag for an asset flip) and should be avoided. They even have the arrogance to dump this asset flip onto Steam in Early Access, but they're already selling keys for this on bundle sites as a complete game, to deceive and scam gamers. This is simply unacceptable. Aren't you glad Valve has no quality control for Steam Direct? This Russian scam is a perfect example.
