"Squaretrail: Lines of The Frame" is a laughably unambitious attempt to see if someone can burn $100 on Steam Direct. The mission was a success, $100 was absolutely wasted on Steam Direct. This is a rotating map physics puzzle. It's worse in all respects than Russian asset flips of pre-made rotating ball puzzles like RotateX (and that is better than this, even though it is awful, yet has a positive review score because the Russian asset flipper behind that mess paid for fake reviews to scam gamers). I think it says a lot when gamers need to know this is even worse than a Russian scam in terms of "being a game". What do you do in the game? Rotate the map to make the "ball" go where it has to go, that's it. This game features very lacklustre minimalist "art" for graphics instead of anything remotely contemporary. I'm sure the "developer" thought this would come across as "artistic", but it doesn't, it comes across as "really lazy". Yes, contemporary 3D graphics take a lot of time and effort to create. That doesn't mean it's okay not to bother! Developers must try to understand that gaming is a visual medium, and gamers spend a lot of money on high end gaming rigs for a reason. And that reason is not so they can look at lazy, phoned-in half efforts like this. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. There's no initial download price, but the developer was charging $2 USD for this. That's delusion. Price barriers, especially on low quality products, can be a direct cause of failure. It seems like a nice gesture for the game to have no up-front cost anymore, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. This is also a bit of a slap in the face to anyone who showed enough questionable judgement to pay money for this... nobody got refunded. In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at [b]only 3 concurrent players[/b]... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? This is a hard pass. There's no immediate financial commitment, but there are thousands of more compelling games on the platform that will give you a lot more enjoyment for your time.
