[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote]
Thunderbolt is a Unity Asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", BitlockStudio/LillyWelland Inc., took the [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/smash-way-hit-pyramids-50963]Smash Way Hit Pyramids[/url] Unity Store tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, Andrew Oleynik, 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... "Smash Way Hit Pyramids" has also been shamelessly dumped on Steam by other asset flippers apart from BitlockStudio/LillyWelland Inc.:

BitlockStudio/LillyWelland Inc. 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:

The products that result from asset flips aren't "real" games. They lack depth and content, because they're just simplistic copies of demos or tutorials. In this case, Smash Way Hit Pyramids is just a tutorial/template for making a low poly 3D endless flyer/runner 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 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 BitlockStudio/LillyWelland Inc.
