Dark spot

Warning: Asset Flip!

Dark Spot is another asset flip scam from the Russian frausters at Vitok, it's what Valve calls a "Fake Game". The "developer" paid for/pirated someone else's example/template/tutorial game, in this case a basic mobile app physics game, changed the name, and submitted it to Valve as if it was their own game.

They've got the ridiculous price tag of $20 USD, which shows just how much they want you to pay them for stealing the work of others. Pretending this is a real game for a moment, it's just a basic template for a mobile app physics game, there's no actual merit or interest for PC gamers here.

An important note: Vitok are known, repeat offenders 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. Vitok have shown a repeated pattern of trying to scam gamers, here are some examples of other asset flip scams they've pulled:

• "Bubbles shot" = Aqua Pop Bubble Shooter Game Asset developed by Master Key
• "Speeder" = Xtrem No Brakes developed by App Advisory
• "Freeze the time" = Freeze: X Mission developed by Andrew Oleynik
• "Macro Golf" = Mini Golf developed by Daniel Buckley
• "Parking light" = Bus Parking Kit 2 developed by ALIyerEdon
• "Little Drift" = Extreme Drift developed by Mehdi Rabiee
• "Cybercube Battle" = UnitZ UNET developed by Hardworker Studio
• "Domino Killer" = Domino Game Template developed by Mammoth Studio
• "Robosnow" = Snowboard Game Starter Pack developed by Denis Lapiner
• "A wave of enemies" = Tower Defense Simple Demo developed by Easy Game Studio

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. They make it harder for gamers to find decent games made by genuine game developers. Because this game is just an asset flip, as well as the other problems with it, it's impossible to recommend.

I think its a good game and unique on its own. I underestimated it at first but when i reached stage 4 sht gone wrong haha my brain XD. But it's still lacking so much. There's no menu tab when you're in the middle of the game (or the thing appears when you press esc) and your levels can't be saved when you exit the game :< and there's also bugs like the ball pierce through the lines or disappear so i have to exit T_T. Maybe fix that and it will be a lot nicer and more enjoyable to play :)))
