Tehnodrom

Tehnodrom is marketed, weirdly, as a platformer, but it isn't. It's a 2D side view scrolling autobattler. Think Vampire Survivors (with the upgrades and all that) except you can just roll left and right. And you have to shoot blocks to get stuff to pick up to go up levels, etc. Surprisingly deep from this Russian asset flipper, but then again, it's from this Russian asset flipper, so it's not outside the realm of possibility this is just another asset flip. Piece Of Voxel /Niko Belik have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked/alt accounts. Here's some examples so you can see for yourself: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1660460]Hoples[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/2d/characters/pixel-adventure-1-155360]Pixel Adventure 1[/url] developed by Pixel Frog [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1547820]Top Truck Driver[/url]" = [url=https://marketplace.yoyogames.com/assets/5820/hill-racing-template-gms1-2]Hill Racing Template[/url] developed by Janko Knez [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1655880]Ki…

I don't care if this is made of free assets or not. It would be ok to kill some time. But get lost with NW:js and games based on "webtechnologies" (other than good old FREE flash)! Let me repeat it once more to all you JS-fetishists out there: JS is an AWFUL Language for mass calculations. It literally kills your framerate down to a slideshow, no matter what hyper high-end-gaming-gear you are using and what fancy lightshow your fans project to the ceiling of your childrens room.

I can't comment on whether or not this is ripping anyone else off, but this game has plenty of its own issues to complain about. Mainly, it's buggy as heck, and crashes way too often. The hardest part of the game I've encountered so far is just getting it to work long enough to finish a level. Definitely not worth whatever they are charging for it in the condition its in. Also: The two Steam achievements are apparently disabled. I found the following in another comment (but can't actually find it anywhere else): "Profile Features Limited! Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game."

I do not recommend
