I was wandering around in a free game store, looking for some unpopular indie games to relieve my boredom, and ended up browsing something called "Super Thunder (Thunder Edition)". I laughed out loud when I read the introduction - something like "American Police Transforming Robot Tiger", "White Tiger Game", "Driving Robot Car", this copy was pieced together by AI from ten different game introductions, right? There is one picture at the beginning, and the rest is all made up, and that picture was taken from pirated materials of "Transformers" and "Thunderbolt".
I downloaded it out of curiosity, and it turned out that it was a 5.0 platform with a 0 yuan fee. When I entered, the screen was full of advertisements. When I clicked the button, a 30-second video played. If I wanted to turn it off, I had to watch another one. How to play? It is to slide the screen to control a robot with pixels that are lumped together to hit a few random light spots. The so-called "robot car conversion" is to click to switch to the shape of a car, and then still light the spots. The so-called "tiger mode" is even more outrageous. Change the yellow texture and continue to highlight the light spots.
This thing isn't really a game at all, it's just an ad player wrapped in a shoddy code shell. The developer, Beijing Playmate Tongle Technology Co., Ltd., seems to specialize in mass-producing this kind of fake-skinned garbage. It is targeting children who don't understand the game and are deceived by fancy descriptions. I really want to scold my mother, even the reputation of independent games has been ruined by this kind of stuff these days.
If you really like robots, tigers, and cars, go play "Transformers: Annihilation" or "Armored Core." Even if you don't like "Asphalt", it's a hundred times better than these things. Don't waste your time on this, it's not even a "copycat", at most it's an electronic dog-skin plaster.
Sharing the journey of discovery of indie games, even stepping on this kind of shit occasionally is the way to go. Everyone, please remember to avoid lightning, save data and time, and play some stand-alone games that are truly made with care. 😤
