Long story short, the developer is a SCAMMER who raked in what he could from this piece of vaporware, then went on to work on a mobile game that is obviously making him money: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/jan/13/crossy-road-mobile-game-million-dollars

For reference, Andy Sum is the guy who should have made Dungeon Dashers.

Sadly, I almost believed he meant to finish this game. Last two updates were in February and September 2014. You can all see why this is never getting finished.

Andy Sum is a scammer and a fraud, please don't buy this and give him more free money for something he doesn't intend to finish.

Mainly posting a review now because I can't believe Steam still has this game up for sale.

It has been abandoned for over a year and only recently the developer mentioned he would come back and finish it after he was away for a year making and working on a sucessful mobile game. I would not recommend anyone purchase this game till that happens and it is fully released.

One of my first early access purchases and the reason I no longer deal with early access.

Wait till this game is finished! 2 updates I think since its been out and devs always saying next week, or later this week. Save your money and get another game till this one is finished.

Devs like these give Early Access a bad name.

The game is exactly what I was looking for when I first bought it...but seriously...there's no updates, nothing...I'd say, stay a way from it untill there's some news from the devs

What's available in the game so far is enjoyable & has a polished feel to it. Gameplay is intuitive & easy to learn. It's also, at the time of this writing (Feb 2), over in about two or three hours. The game has been around in early access since late October. The first update was two weeks later. There has not been an update since.

First there was going to be an update "very soon". Three weeks later, it was "this week". The game remains unchanged, with no signs it has been worked on, aside from the dev saying as much. I have trouble recommending a game that can't keep up with its own schedule, & I certainly can't advocate spending money on an unfinished product that has remained stagnant for this long.

Wait until it's finished, if that ever happens.

Dev abandonned the game.

Has been in early acces for 2 years. Had some interesting game mechanics for a turn based game but the dev wandered off to make a mobile game instead of the game they already started. Now they return with promises of "remaking" it in Unity so even if it's completed it won't be the game that currently exists on the Steam store. Do not buy.

EDIT: Hold the press! It seems development has resumed and the game isn't abandoned after all. After a gap of nearly 7 months, a hefty update arrived out of the blue. I'd uninstalled the game, so didn't know about it until now - about 3 weeks later.

The fact I kept checking back on this game periodically, rather than just forgetting about it, can be taken as a compliment to the game. I said before that the game lookED promising (past tense) but now it lookS promising (present tense!) again. This is a good thing.

I wish these Steam reviews weren't so binary - only Positive or Negative - because, ideally, I'd like to change my rating to Neutral / Pending / Let's See How It Goes From Here :)

--original review--

As of today, it's been 5 months since the last update. FIVE MONTHS. This game looked promising to begin with, but remains at around 25% complete with little chance that it will ever be finished now. It really should be removed from sale. Needless to say, don't buy it.

I'm not particularly aggrieved at having spent my money on this unfinished, dead game - it didn't cost very much, and it's understood that buying into an Early Access game carries the risk that the project will never reach completion. What DOES annoy me is the damage that abandoned projects like this do to the concept of Early Access games as a whole.

After being burned by this one, I'm going to very wary of Early Access games from now on, and will likely only trust Early Access games from established devs with a solid track-record of delivering the goods. That's the real shame, because I'm sure there are hundreds of fledgling devs out there who really need Early Access support and fully intend to honour their commitments. It's horrible that unfinished and abandoned games like this one will have poisoned the well for them.

Unless we hear something from the dev, the distance that has passed makes me think that he has taken our money and run, no better than a common THIEF.

This game had potential. I supported the game long before it was on steam and when it was still just an idea, but unfortunately the dev got enough money and abondoned this project to make f2p/p2p mobile games. Be wary of this dev in the future.
