About Blinky
In this simple island defence game you play as a small creature who needs to shoot bacteries that fall on the island from above. Use the left and right arrows to control the movement of your creature, use the up arrow to shoot diagonally. Your goal is to prevent the falling parasites from falling to the ground, otherwise your platform will collapse and your character will have less space and in the end you will lose. Have a nice game.

✦ AI summary
Players report that this is an asset flip where the developer took an open-source game from GitHub, removed credits, and relisted it on Steam without proper attribution or source code disclosure, violating the GPL 3.0 license. The game itself is described as a simplistic defense title where you play as an amoeba shooting falling objects, but the primary concern is the unethical practice of repackaging others' work as a commercial product, with the developer allegedly having a pattern of similar behavior.
[h2]Warning - Asset Flip![/h2] The "developer" here, "QuickBobber", is already known for serial asset flipping and this "game" is no different. They got it [url=https://github.com/GambusinoLabs/Vlinky]from Github[/url] and ripped out the in-game credits but otherwise didn't bother to modify it. Given the original source code is licensed under GPL 3.0 this is unacceptable. The license requires to disclose the source as well as to keep any copyright notices. The original authors are Manu Moya and Emilio Kessel with support from GambusinoLabs. I have notified the copyright holders about this. There's not much to tell about the game. It's a rather simplistic defense game - you play as some kind of amoeba (?) and have to defend your turf against falling objects by shooting them. It's rather difficult not just in terms of gameplay but also because it's pretty buggy. The gameplay loop is extremely short and certainly not worth the money the "developer" wants for their "creation". Please don't support this kind of unethical behaviour - in this case it's also copyright infringement - and don't buy this or any other game by "QuickBobber".

[b][quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote][/b] Blinky is an asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", DIG Games/QuickBobber, took the [url=https://github.com/GambusinoLabs/Vlinky]Vlinky[/url] game assets from the real developers, Gambusino Labs, 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. DIG Games/QuickBobber has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab.
