[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] "Oil and Sand" is one of literally thousands of creatively bankrupt asset flips infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere.[/quote] This is another scam from the Russian asset flippers, RaCaRa (once more shoving their garbage between various shell accounts to mislead gamers and hide their identity). This is a bunch of stolen low poly assets dumped on a basic tower defense game template. The "Developer" then paid for around 100 fake Steam reviews and slapped a $60 price tag on this to try scam people, trying to get YOUR money for someone else's Unity assets. This is never okay, it's highly unethical. So, "Oil and Sand" is partially or completely made up of stock assets, "borrowed" from asset stores and free asset websites.

One of the best things about this game is its flexibility. You can play a single level in just a few minutes, or you can dive in for a longer session and tackle multiple levels. The gameplay is engaging, and the 3D visuals are a nice bonus. It’s perfect for both casual and dedicated players.

The strategic depth of this game makes it highly replayable. Each level can be approached in multiple ways, depending on how you use your towers and upgrades
