AA Touch Gun! Reviews

[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote] AA Touch Gun! is an asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", Garage Games/vadimalexepta, took the [url=https://marketplace.yoyogames.com/assets/3714/aa-touch-gun]AA Touch Gun! [/url] tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, Digi Smile Limited, 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. Garage Games/vadimalexepta 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/1031840]Shop Battle[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/props/interior/simple-shop-interiors-cartoon-assets-38029]Simple Shop Interiors - Cartoon assets[/url] developed by Synty Studios [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1655710]Lovely Kitchen[/url]" = [url=https://marketplace.yoyogames.com/assets/1084/advanced-planet-platformer]Advanced Planet Platformer[/url] developed by NicolaiGD [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/984590]Coloring Book[/url]" = [url=https://marketplace.yoyogames.com/assets/4149/coloring-book]Coloring Book[/url] developed by Digi Smile Limited [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1488020]Bird[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/sky-flight-full-game-template-113460]Sky Flight Full Game Template[/url] developed by Puppeteer [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1813940]Fruit Basket[/url]" = [url=https://marketplace.yoyogames.com/assets/1084/advanced-planet-platformer]Advanced Planet Platformer[/url] developed by NicolaiGD [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1860050]Adventures Nearby[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/2d/characters/pixel-adventure-1-155360]Pixel Adventure 1[/url] developed by Pixel Frog [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1728110]Auto Mechanic[/url]" = [url=https://marketplace.yoyogames.com/assets/1084/advanced-planet-platformer]Advanced Planet Platformer[/url] developed by NicolaiGD [/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, "AA Touch Gun! " is just a basic asset pack to teach people how to make a simple screen tapping game for mobile phones with GameMaker Studio, 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. Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from Garage Games/vadimalexepta. [b]Note:[/b] Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not count towards your Game Collector counts, 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.
