Garbageeeeee

good game!

[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote] Thunderbolt 2 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.: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1106350]Pyrax[/url]", asset flipped by RewindApp [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/803390]Thunderbolt[/url]", also asset flipped by LillyWelland Inc./BitlockStudio [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/761110]Infinity Escape[/url]", asset flipped by XiNFiNiTY Games [/list] Take a look for yourself... these are all [i]exactly the same game![/i] BitlockStudio/LillyWelland Inc. has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab.

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 like this are harmful to the gaming industry and to Steam because they reduce the visibility that sincerely made indie games should have, and make it harder for gamers to find real games from genuine developers. [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. Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from BitlockStudio/LillyWelland Inc..

3.5 out of 5 Fun enough, mostly a point and click type game. Gets repetitive after awhile.

Utter rubbish. Sound doesn't work and there's little or no point to the game. Thunderbolt II is an unfinished demo. Worthless.
