As a fan of the Submachine series since I discovered it WAY back in 2010, this game could have been a very quaint homage to the wonderful, eerie atmosphere and universe Mateusz Skutnik spent decades of his life lovingly crafting on Flash websites.
Might I add that all of the games in the Submachine series were free?
You could buy the full collection, with remastered art and the music album, but the games themselves were free.
Thus, this game becomes not an homage, but a cash-grab of an insult, grubbingly grabbing at iOS players money for a game idea, atmosphere, art style, play style, game play, music, scenery, and locations that they did NOT create.
And you can’t even argue this was your own idea, either. You literally used the Submachine font in the trailer. The font ALL of the games use for their intro text. I’m not even getting into the whole screen-scroll style with climbing ladders, or assets like the stone dragons. (Which were literally ripped from the entry Ancient Adventure in the series.)
Get a computer, go search up the Submachine games, and either buy them yourself or play them all for free.
You’ll not only get FAR more hours of entertainment from those, but if you decide to purchase them, you’ll be supporting a video-game developer and artist who is ACTUALLY making these games.
Not some talentless hacks that think they can pull the wool over the eyes of mobile players, and pick their pockets while they’re at it.
