Astro Bouncer Reviews

󠀡

[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote] Astro Bouncer is a Unity Asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", For Kids, took the [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/astro-bouncer-game-template-27260]Astro Bouncer Game Template[/url] Unity Store tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, Puppeteer, 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. For Kids 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: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/722250]Feeding The Monster[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/feeding-the-monster-97892]Feeding The Monster[/url] developed by Sasha Gorec [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/703210]My Little Worms[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/dashy-worm-multi-touch-mobile-arcade-93511]Dashy Worms[/url] developed by SgLib Games [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/885240]Tower Stacker[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/tower-stacker-game-template-57257]Tower Stacker Game Template[/url] developed by Puppeteer [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/763770]Space Stories: Darth Star[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/planetary-defence-104099]Planetary Defence game pack[/url] developed by Daniel Buckley [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/763760]My Coloring Book: Food and Beverage[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/paint-book-unity-complete-project-90736]Paint Book Complete Project[/url] developed by Digi Smile Limited [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/774781]My Coloring Book: Professions[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/paint-book-unity-complete-project-90736]Paint Book Complete Project[/url] developed by Digi Smile Limited [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/867730]Pixel Traffic: Highway Racing[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/crashy-racing-115748]Crashy Racing full game pack[/url] developed by SgLib games [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/699750]Pixel Traffic: Risky Bridge[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/crossy-bridge-79760]Crossy Bridge Game Template[/url] developed by SgLib Games [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/712380]Temple Escape[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/temple-escape-95339]Temple Escape[/url] developed by SgLib games [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/698300]Find This![/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/hidden-object-game-template-19394]Hidden Object Game Template[/url] developed by Puppeteer [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/721430]My Coloring Book: Animals[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/paint-book-unity-complete-project-90736]Paint Book Complete Project[/url] developed by Digi Smile Limited [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/739210]My Coloring Book: Transport[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/paint-book-unity-complete-project-90736]Paint Book Complete Project[/url] developed by Digi Smile Limited [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/704440]Nimble Fish[/url]" = [url=https://forum.unity.com/threads/released-2d-endless-fish-runner-2d-endless-runner-game-with-increasing-difficulty.399458/]2D Endless Fish Runner[/url] developed by 1RadMan [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/713050]Vampires![/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/thirsty-vampire-97767]Thirsty Vampire[/url] developed by Code Master Studio [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/696460]Pixel Traffic: Circle Rush[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/circle-crash-88702]Circle Crash[/url] developed by SgLib Games [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/698330]Z Runaway[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/zigzag-infinite-runner-game-100035]ZigZag Infinite Runner Game[/url] developed by Puppeteer [/list] 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, "Astro Bouncer Game Template" is just a simple one-button mobile app flappy-birds like screen tapper, 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. Another important Note: For Kids have been caught using fake reviews on their games in an attempt to mislead gamers by creating a fake positive review score. The reviews are all from known/compromised pay-per-review accounts, all in Russian or broken English, and show as Steam purchasers (to make the fake reviews count). The fake reviews are all posted within roughly 24 hours of each other, and usually shortly after the game launch. There's no evidence of fake reviews on this game, but that may change in future. Gamers have a right to know when developers act in a highly unethical manner. Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from For Kids.

The game does what it says, its responsive although very very short. There are no changes in level backdrops or other things to keep the game fresh.

[h1]Flappy bird trapped between walls[/h1] Quite a good challenging, but stolen concept of flappy bird. Your astronaut is infinitely bouncing from wall to wall while dodging the randomly appearing sawblades from each side. Besides your main goal to survive as long as possible you must collect all kind of stars (the big ones are the rarest ones but give you a score of 5 pts). The game graphics and controls seem cheap. But they can be also solid in gameplay. Just sometimes they're appear to be unfair with sawspawns (full wall of sawblades, quick spawn of falling sawblades on top of the screen or even invisible sawblades on walls which makes you "ouch"). To improve the story I'd like to know more about the world grumpling from time to time - are you inside of a space monster's stomach ?

Astro Bouncer is a fun and short little Arcade game with lots of stars to collect while you from wall to wall. But be careful, some spiky tentacles are here to ruin the fun for you, and your character's fragile balloon body can't hold that much pressure! It was fun for a while, but it gets very repetitive after some time. [b]Pros: -Achievements:[/b] Very easy to get! [b]-Good time:[/b] Little time waster [b]Cons: -Tentacles:[/b] The tentacle distribution on the walls are not randomized, it has a sort of pattern and each time you slam your little balloon boy against the wall the patterns will either change or stay the same. [b]-Items/Collectibles:[/b] Stars, big stars and lives ARE randomized, all based around luck for a great high score. You either get a huge pile of big stars dropping from the sky or one maybe more spiky balls next to each other. Speaking of which... [b]-Big stars:[/b] Be honest, if you've played- and got all the achievements; Did you run back and forth collecting the very last few big stars, 20 of each? Yeah, I thought so too! [b]-Difficulty:[/b] After you collect 25 stars the pacing will slightly change each time you do so. It's a very lazy way of making it more of a challenge but it work, kind of. [b]-Controls:[/b] The only thing you press is the space bar, very rarely pressing the space bar it just stops for me for some reason, maybeitsmyproblemwiththekeyboard butIdon'tseeanyproblemwiththat Also; if you cross somewhere above the screen area it just stops you from boosting/jumping, which I get but also don't... [b]-Sound effects:[/b] Collecting stars could make a whole "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" melody for all we know, but BOY if you're getting hit by spikes it's hilariously bad. It sounds like either a cartoon character falling from spiral stairs or someone's walking on activated charcoal. Overall, just like the Developer described: [i]"If you do not know how to take your evening, then this game is a great choice."[/i] Just, don't spend the whole evening... Take a break after 15 minutes or so. Lean back in a leather chair, chew on cigar and drink Scotch at the fireplace or something. Make something great of your evening! [h1]5 / 10[/h1] [b]"The POP! sound effect after dead proves that astronauts are just balloons."[/b]

The title says it all, it's an adorable game about an astronaut who bounces between two sides of a cavern collecting stars and dodging aliens. Every 25 points the astronaut gets slightly faster and more spikes appear on the walls. The gameplay is simple, just press enter to make your astronaut use their backpack and avoid the ever increasing amount of monsters on the screen. It's a pretty basic but addicting and enjoyable game.

"Astro Bouncer" is a simple sci-Fi arcade game about the adventures of an astronaut in space. You jump and collect stars, and try not to get caught in the tentacles of an ancient monster The game is pretty easy but for me a bit lame, thats why i only played till a while after i got all achievments. The music and the style of the game was good. When you want all achievments you have to play for a short while, they are very easy to get. This whole process took me around 0.8 hours. I bought it for 0.55€ on Sale and it was good for that price. But i dont know if i would buy it for the full price. The game itself was fun, Try it out!
