Warning: Asset Flip!
Top Truck Driver is an asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", Piece of Voxel/Stas Paty9mkin, took the Hill Racing Template tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, Janko Knez, 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.
Piece of Voxel/Stas Paty9mkin has a known history of trying to scam people into paying them money for someone else's work. One example of Piece of Voxel/Stas Paty9mkin doing this is Hoples, which is really the "Pixel Adventure 1" asset, written by the actual developers, Pixel Frog.
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, "Hill Racing Template" is just a simple 2D mobile app tier "racing" physics platformer asset pack, 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 are an insult to both PC gamers and to professional game developers who create genuine, high quality PC games. 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.
Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from Piece of Voxel/Stas Paty9mkin.
