Petty's Adventure: Volcano

[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] Petty's Adventure: Volcano is a Digital Homicide style asset flip, or what Valve calls a "Fake Game". The "developer" paid for/pirated a few stock game assets and sprites, dumped them on a ClickTeam Fusion platformer template, and submitted it to Valve as if they're real game developers.[/quote] Two notable criteria for what makes an asset flip instead of legitimate use of stock assets are whether those assets comprise the majority of the game, and whether the "developer" properly credited the people who created most of the assets in the game. This game fails both of those tests. The "developers" here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets here, so this is plagiarism, as well as cash grab shovelware. In this case, the asset flipper took a bunch of stock assets from Vecteezy and other places and slapped them on a ClickTeam Fusion platformer template. An example of the uncredited, plagiarised assets is this ribbon tree from [url=https://iconscout.com/lottie-animation/tree-10456853]Icon Scout[/url]. The other game assets are also stolen from various places around the internet... the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of this Russian asset flipper seems to know no bounds, as they've dumped literally hundreds of valueless ClickTeam Fusion asset flips onto Steam using a variety of shell accounts to try hide their identity and further mislead gamers. It has no value or merit as a real game. Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. The game assets are fairly mediocre/low quality which fits with the idea they weren't developed by the game creator... they look like they're "just reasonable enough" to go on sale as part of an asset pack. The issue of asset flipping aside, ultimately the quality of these assets is low and low quality always makes for a less than optimal gaming experience. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, left handed gamers or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts. Some of the defects in the game can be attributed to the choice of using the Clickteam Fusion construction kit - the "No-Code" construction kit that "Anyone can make games with!!". Including, you know, people who aren't game developers. Which is a problem. This is a very poor quality toolset sometimes used by amateur developers as it's free (so they don't have to pay for GameMaker Studio) and doesn't require advanced game development skills, but unfortunately has very limited capabilities (it's arguably worse than GameMaker Studio). Just as you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear, you can't make a great video game if you use a terrible engine. So it's inappropriate when amateurs try to use these for profit, without any actual, real game development effort taking place. This doesn't result in products that have any real meaningful value for gamers. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 2 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 100,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. This kind of asset flipping isn't harmless. It makes it harder for gamers to find genuinely made games from ethical developers. It makes it harder for genuine indie developers, who put hard work into trying to make real games, to find an audience for their products. It gives indie developers a bad name. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam? Petty's Adventure: Volcano is relatively cheap at $2 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, and the questionable ethical nature of the developer and/or their associates (as outlined above), this is impossible to recommend. Remember that if you buy a game from an unethical developer, you're putting your money at risk. [quote][b][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/b] Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile 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.[/quote]

Nem joguei. Esse dev já é famoso por seus shovelwares ele lança 2 jogos por mês. Todos jogos muito parecidos e ruins. Só enche a steam de tranqueira

Очень неудобно. - тяжело спозиционировать персонажа после прыжка; - шипы дамажат гораздо дальше чем прорисованы; - симметричность уровней просто заставляет пройти то же самое, но с инвертированными кнопками; - необходимость вручную переключать уровни.

Я не знаю как автор умудрился сделать так что минюшка лагает, а сама игра нет. И также в этой игре раздражающийся музыка и звуки.

It's a fun, cheap, and short physics-based platformer with 50 levels, but the controls can be a bit frustrating—especially on the Steam Deck. While the gameplay is enjoyable and the levels are creative, those control issues can be a bit of a hassle. Despite the minor issues, it's still worth a try if you're looking for a quick and entertaining platformer!

me gusto divertido para alguien que quiere sacar logros es divertido sus controles

Только ради достижений
