Lawnmower Game: Pinball

This is a minimal-effort product where someone threw a couple of lawnmower-themed graphics on 6 very basic pinball tables and called it a day. The game is very cheap, but since it does not work properly, it can't be recommended regardless.

After my first 30 seconds of playing, the ball became stuck irrecoverably - neither activating the flippers nor using the "shake machine" function would dislodge it. I had to exit back to the main menu, and tried a different table. This time it took only 20 seconds for the ball to get stuck. Apparently this game has not been playtested at all, or the developer simply did not care. In any case, I would not regard it as playable in its current state.

Even without that gamebreaking issue, the game wouldn't actually be good. The tables are extremely simple - as far as I can tell, there are no missions and no different playstates. I couldn't even find bonus multipliers or extra balls, though it's possible that I just wasn't able to play for long enough to find them.

The game also has absolutely no settings except a windowed/fullscreen toggle. Keys are fixed to A and D for the flippers, Ctrl for "shake machine", and Space to launch the ball. You basically have to use your left hand to control both flippers, and you'll have to place your fingers at an angle if you use an AZERTY keyboard. Graphics are rather plain, and the soundtrack consists of little more than 5 notes repeated ad nauseum.

If you're interested in a cheap pinball game, I suggest trying the free tables of Pinball FX and/or Zaccaria Pinball. If these don't work for you and you want a few simple tables at low cost, then Malzbie's Pinball is also an option. "Lawnmower Game: Pinball" is, unfortunately, just a waste of your time and money - though at least you won't lose much of either.

If you're interested in achievements - it takes 12 minutes to get all 12 achievements for this game. If adding another "100%" game to your library is worth the money to you, then that's the only usecase I can see where you'd get your money's worth out of it. Personally I'd rather play a good game than grinding through bad ones just to raise an arbitrary number on my profile that no one will ever look at by a few more points ... but hey, different strokes for different folks. :)

when "Profile Features Limited" 4 this game will be over?

Warning: Asset Flip!

Lawnmower Game: Pinball is an asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", Tero Lunkka/Ruskija game experience, took the Pinball Construction Kit tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, Epic 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.

Tero Lunkka/Ruskija game experience 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:

• "Fancy the Frog" = Pixel Adventure 1 developed by Pixel Frog
• "Nash Racing" = Advanced Tuning Cars developed by James Novih
• "Lawnmower Game: Pinball" = Pinball Construction Kit developed by Epic Games
• "Nash Racing 2" = Advanced Tuning Cars developed by James Novih
• "Survival Isolation" = Easy Survival RPG v3 developed by Easy Systems
• "Aliens Dont Exist" = Alien Character - Free Sprite developed by Craftpix

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, "Pinball Construction Kit" is just an Unreal 4 engine asset pack containing a basic pinball game set, 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.

Warning: Review Manipulation!

This game features a number of fake positive reviews from accounts known to be in the business of review manipulation/paid reviews. They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear almost immediately after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams. The "Positive" review score on this game should be disregarded due to this review manipulation.

Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from Tero Lunkka/Ruskija game experience/Black Thug (just how many fake accounts does Tero need???).
