Twizzle Puzzle: Cats

[b][quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote][/b] "Twizzle Puzzle: Cats" is an asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", Cute Hannah's Games, took a template from ClickTeam Fusion, slapped a couple of stock/generated images on it, and dumped the results onto Steam as a cash grab scam. Cute Hannah's Games has shown a repeated pattern of ripping off ClickTeam Fusion templates and dumping them on Steam. They also use a number of shell accounts (Blender Games, My Way Games, Crew Labs, Quiet River, Quick Quiver etc) to try hide their identity and mislead gamers. They've flipped this same asset onto Steam a whopping 11 times! Don't believe me? Here's some of asset flips from exactly the same template, all shamelessly dumped on Steam as nasty cash grabs: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2729040]Twizzle Puzzle: Animals[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2815590]Twizzle Puzzle: Birds[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2704230]Twizzle Puzzle: Cats[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2989680]Twizzle Puzzle: Dinosaurs[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2680800]Twizzle Puzzle: Dogs[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2948060]Twizzle Puzzle: Horses[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2875920]Twizzle Puzzle: Monkeys[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/3095660]Twizzle Puzzle: Mushrooms[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2850680]Twizzle Puzzle: Predators[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2757530]Twizzle Puzzle: Reptiles[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2918580]Twizzle Puzzle: Rodents[/url]" [/list] Look for yourself... these are all exactly the same game! 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, "Twizzle Puzzle: Cats" is just a ripoff of a basic ClickTeam Fusion "rotating tile" puzzle template filled out with some pictures stolen off the internet, and a lame, badly done filter slapped over the image to try hide the origin, and doesn't have any merit as a proper, fully fledged PC game, so this 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. They make it harder for gamers to find genuine games made by honest developers. To cement the position of this asset flip as nothing but a cash grab, it was dumped onto cheap DailyIndieGame shovelware bundles very shortly after launch. Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from Cute Hannah's Games. [quote][b][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/b] Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.[/quote]
