The game is bad. I can't get behind the 15,99€ price tag. It's a game of dominoes where you score points by laying down pieces so the ends add up to a multiple of five. You can either play against AI, or let two AIs play against each other. If there was a multiplayer mode, it would still not be worth that much money, but it would at least have [B]some[/B] value. Putting aside the lack of content, the game is surprisingly glitchy. The game mostly runs fine, but it keeps freezing randomly when trying to place a domino tile. It sometimes recovers from the freeze, but more often than not it locks up completely. Later I realized that it just freezes whenever it wants. The music does not loop. I don't know whether this is intentional or not, but it doesn't feel intended, given that you play in complete silence afterwards. This may be a nitpick, but the gameplay is somewhat disorienting. There is no animation for placing domino tiles, they appear instantly. Lastly, this is an obvious no-effort asset flip, as the menu screen says "Domino template". There's nothing wrong with using assets if someone expands on them in a meaningful way, but this one doesn't. I only bought it out of curiosity on a -90% sale, because I wanted to know how this could ever be worth 16€. As expected, it's worthless, even if it doesn't freeze for no reason. Maybe the assets on Unity are worth it though.

[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote] Domino Killer is a Unity Asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", Vitok, took the [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/domino-game-template-121652]Domino Game Template[/url] Unity Store tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, Mammoth Studio, 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. Vitok has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab. Here's some examples so you can see for yourself: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1655560]Speeder[/url]" = [url=https://www.gameassetdeals.com/asset/51454/xtrem-no-brakes-endless-high-speed-game]Xtrem No Brakes[/url] developed by App Advisory [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1851450]Bubbles shot[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/mk-aqua-pop-bubble-shooter-game-asset-135537]Aqua Pop Bubble Shooter Game Asset[/url] developed by Master Key [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1855020]Freeze the time[/url]" = [url=https://assetsale.herokuapp.com/en/contents/36822]Freeze: X Mission[/url] developed by Andrew Oleynik [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1472260]Macro Golf[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/mini-golf-76193]Mini Golf[/url] developed by Daniel Buckley [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1431620]Cybercube Battle[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/unitz-unet-33494]UnitZ UNET[/url] developed by Hardworker Studio [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1739770]Parking light[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/bus-parking-kit-2-107077]Bus Parking Kit 2[/url] developed by ALIyerEdon [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1587610]Little Drift[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/extreme-drift-88601]Extreme Drift[/url] developed by Mehdi Rabiee [/list] 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, "Domino Game Template" is just a simple demo for creating a dominos mobile app, 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 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 Vitok.
