Spring Dogs : Ultimate Multiplayer Battle Royale

"Spring Dogs : Ultimate Multiplayer Battle Royale" is a lame and playerless Stumbleguys ripoff with work graphics and worse gameplay. There's no players, so you won't get any meaningful PvP. You can play against bots but that's pointless. Just play Stumbleguys or whatever if this is the kind of thing you want. [quote][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews]Developer Response![/url][/quote]The developer has weighed in to inform everyone they didn't read the [url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews]Developer Usage Rules[/url] for Steam "partners", or they deliberately ignored the part where Valve says: [quote]Though it may be tempting, not every review needs to be responded to. A developer response will frequently draw more attention than the original statement, potentially turning a small issue into a much larger community discussion. It's also not a good idea to use this feature to refute customer opinions. Your direct attention can be seen as validation or a defensive attempt to silence your customers.[/quote] The developer weighs in to, well, not say much. Let's take this "revelation" from the developer into account... then go check SteamDB for the peak player counts. 6 players, last month, presumably one game. That only happened once... now, there's just 1-2 people logging on every few days, presumably to see what this is, then quickly deleting it. The comical part about this is the developer insists their game is for 8 players, when [i]there was never a time 8 people were playing this all at the same time!!![/i]. When I first wrote my review I thought I'd spare the developer the shame of that kind of fact that I usually do include in my reviews, but the developers response has highlighted the importance of telling gamers when games are abject failures rejected by gamers. The SteamDB player counts don't lie... this is a failure. For the most part, there's a wisdom in crowds. When people avoid a game like the plague, as they did with this one, it says a lot. If you ask your friends to play terrible games like this, soon you won't have any friends. Nothing in the developers pointless breach of Valve guidelines changes any of the objective facts of my review. My review stands unaltered. I cannot recommend this game to anyone.
