Spinner Breaker

Warning: Asset Flip!

Spinner Breaker is a Unity Asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", beans rolls, took the Spin Breakout Unity Store tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, SgLib Games, 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.

beans rolls 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:

• "Wavy Trip" = Wavy Trip developed by SgLib
• "Branches" = Branches developed by SgLib Games
• "Badlands Racer" = X-Racer developed by Deer Cat
• "Starveling Way" = 2D Roguelike Tutorial developed by Unity Technologies
• "Neon Arena" = Neon Space Fighter developed by Aleksa Racovic
• "Bouncy Cube" = Bouncy Cube 2d developed by Game HUB
• "Air Strike" = Air Strike Starter Kit developed by Hardworker Studio
• "Moon Defense" = Moon Defense Game Kit - FREE developed by Azureda Games
• "Down The Hill" = Emoji Down The Hill developed by SgLib Games
• "Sniper Game" = Advanced Sniper Starter Kit developed by Hardworker Studio
• "Hit Confirmed" = Bullet developed by Lucas Lopes
• "Twin Balls" = Twin Balls developed by SgLib Games
• "Winding Road" = Shape Change Complete Game developed by Ragendom
• "Connect the Dots" = Flow Free developed by bupisource.com

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, "Spin Breakout" is just a simple mobile app breakout demo with a spinning paddle in the middle, 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 beans rolls.

The developer just grab Spin Breakout packs, rename the title and then click "Build" for PC. Straight to "I want to permanently remove this game from my account ".

Asset flip or not, I think I got just enough value for the few cents I paid for this game.
