Win The Diamond

Lucky me gets to be the first person to warn people away from "Win the Diamond". Win The Diamond is yet another of literally thousands of (3D rendered) 2D retro platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere. This is an incredibly amateurish mess... I wouldn't go as far as calling this a direct asset flip but the platformer engine is obviously a stock Unreal one, and the background textures etc are definitely not the work of the "developer" here, but also uncredited, so there's a little plagiarism going on. However the main character assets were obviously handcrafted because they're completely awful. It's a very basic platformer, you run, you shoot, you jump into coins. The game is very simplistic, small and limited in scope and ambition. This feels more like a tech demo, proof of concept or student homework assignment rather than a fully fledged product designed for PC gamers. As such it doesn't offer any real value as a serious PC game. The gameplay is on-par with the absolutely awful amateur game assets. Absolutely awful, too, it's janky and unpleasant to play. The developer couldn't even work out how to sync the sounds wit…
