Hidden Object - Food

[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote] Hidden Object - Food is a Unity Asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", BoogyGames Studios, took the [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/hidden-object-game-template-19394]Hidden Object 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. It gets worse... "Hidden Object Game Template" has also been shamelessly dumped on Steam by other asset flippers apart from BoogyGames Studios: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/698300]Find This![/url]", asset flipped by For Kids [/list] Take a look for yourself... it's [i]exactly the same game![/i] BoogyGames Studios 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, "Hidden Object Game Template" is just a template/tutorial for making simple hidden object/match puzzles, and doesn't have any merit as a proper, fully fledged PC game, so this copy+paste/reskin 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 BoogyGames Studios.

This game costs pennies and that is about what it is worth. It is a boring, monotonous, repetitive game.

There's more content in a number of hidden object demos. 1 music track that is very short, and only one true game mode. It is neither complex or simplistic enough to be enjoyable. Takes all of 5 minutes to see everything it has to offer.

Kinda fun at first but quickly gets boring

someone put time into creating this. how boring must your life be

[i][b]Hidden Object - Food[/b], how well do you know your foods?[/i] Our verdict: [b]Unworthy[/b] Find out why in [url=https://tgexp.com/hidden-object-food/]our full game review[/url].

This game sucks! Just a screen fill of items and told to find one (or two) of an item... and that's it, over and over again... no plot, no other modes, just one thing. Not engaging at all.

Hidden Object - Food is not even worth the 0.49 cents it is on sale for. At best, it should be one of those free game apps that displays ads between levels - if it even had levels, which it doesn't. I do not recommend it. The root problem is that there is only one mode, timed, and very briefly timed at that. It is meant to be played in speedy sessions just to rack up a higher score that it does not keep track of. There are three difficulty modes that give you instructions like "Find 2 coffees." 2 Coffees? Does that mean cup of coffee? Does that mean coffee beans? Well, just wait a few seconds because the game vibrates the objects you are looking for if you aren't moving quickly enough - and there is no way to turn that cheaty feature off. Next object ... find 3 bones. BONES? Bones aren't food for humans last time I checked. And, for some reason, these bones are about 1/3rd the size of all the other objects on the screen. Why? I seriously think they are meant to be game stoppers. There is an icons option which just shows you a picture of the object to find instead of the words. The objects will get progressively smaller, but this still doesn't pose much of a challenge until the game starts asking you to find hummingbird bones every third object. Yum! Better wash that down with an entire bucket of water and then you can have a jellyfish for dessert.
