Arcade Galaxy

Arcade Galaxy – shoot ‘em up. Обычно игры такого жанра обладают динамичностью, тут всё проще. Встречается одиночный противник, уничтожаете его одним залпом, забираете бонус, повтор действий. Постепенно, после определённой волны, скорость и прочность противников увеличивается, немного раннера вам. Всё происходящее не имеет никакого смысла, прогресс не сохраняется, зато сделали закос под игровой автомат, мол как классика. Очень нудная музыка. Мусор с купленными отзывами.

Lucky me gets dubious honour of writing the first review for Arcade Galaxy, which is an asset flip scam. This is another GameMaker Studio asset flip from serial copy+paste infringers, Piece of Voxel. All these guys do is rip off game templates and projects from the Yoyogames/GameMaker Studio marketplace, change the name and a few cosmetic details, and try to scam people into paying for someone else's work on Steam. They have run asset flip scams dozens of times, and this is no exception. It's nothing but a cash grab. This time they've ripped off a basic template for a 2D retro pixel arcade shoot 'em up. GameMaker Studio itself is a terrible game construction kit, and this asset flip shows just how bad things can get when templates/tutorials/demos from that construction kit get dumped on Steam as complete games. In line with dishonest asset flippers, the game was dumped immediately at launch into DailyIndieGame shovelware bundles. It's massively overpriced, with a ridiculous $10 USD price tag for someone else's GameMaker Studio template. Even if this wasn't just an asset flip, it would be garbage. An important note: Piece of Voxel are known asset flippers and have previously taken other developers work and put it on Steam in an attempt to scam gamers and get paid for someone else's effort. An example of Piece of Voxel doing this is Hoples, which is really "[url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/2d/characters/pixel-adventure-1-155360]Pixel Adventure 1[/url]", written by the actual developers, Pixel Frog. Also, Top Truck Driver, which is really "[url=https://marketplace.yoyogames.com/assets/5820/hill-racing-template-gms1-2]Hill Racing Template[/url]", developed by Janko Knez. Asset flips are harmful to the gaming industry. They're nothing but cash grabs, and they harm genuine indie developers by reducing their visibility on Steam.
