Sorry to hear that. But just to point out: Obey the Fist is just a jerk. While I agree with some of his reviews about assets flips, he also attacks a lot of small indie games for no reason. Sure, their games may not be games of the year, but it doesn't justify being a jerk. Just to say: he has made more than 4750 reviews, but only 159 are positive, most of them being big AAA titles.

Just because little piece of mindless jerk said your game isn't supposed to be here dont listen to them like the person below or above me (Ovni) said, the jerk probably didnt play your game and gives Indie games alot of negative reviews and probably wants steam to be AAA store only dont give up just because someone said something like "Your games sucks stop doing development" i'm not the game developer but if someone said that i would just personally ignore them because no one should stop you from doing what you do as hobby or for fun.

Thanks, both of you. It's nice to see that someone actually cares.

Don’t cave to that ♥♥♥♥♥

Thanks for you response. I already did, unfortunately. But I'll come stronger and prepared the next time I'm on this platform as a developer.

I don't know who this "Obey The Fist" guy is, but f*ck him! Don't let people like him sway you from creating anything you want. You get back up, and stand your ground.

EDIT: I just bought all the DLC, just to spite the guy.

You mentioned 'The game 'RunnerDot' will be removed from sale,', what does that have to do with Beat Rush?

EDIT: Either way people can take criticism 1 of 2 ways: Constructively and use it to improve and get good or Negatively leading to sulking and rage quitting indicating you probably weren't all that passionate about what you were doing in the first place..

Thanks, both of you.

BarCoau, I was, but the thing is that he was right about RunnerDot. It’s not for Steam and I made a mistake by putting it on here.
It has nothing to do with Beat Rush directly, the news just went through its community hub, along with RunnerDot’s. I can see the confusion from seeing the image, sorry about that.

i would say obey the fist is right like 90% of the time so i think you made a good decision

Huh, good to know.

With the Steam Deck announced last week, I gotta say your game definitely IS also meant for this platform.
When buying a game on Steam, it's the customer's responsibility to check if the game looks good to him. There are A LOT of mobile ports on Steam, and if one doesn't like it, he's not forced to buy them. On the other hand, Steam is becoming more and more open to "different" games, and there are even movies on Steam.
Your game was meant for touch control but is still playable with a mouse, so it's already playable by 100% of Steam users. When the Steam Deck is in my hands, I don't see why I wouldn't use its touch controls to play your game.

Obey The Fist is not right 100% of the time, and I think he's being a d*ck when he writes that kind of review on a game like yours.

He says in his essay "I will not recommend a mobile or console ported game" and that is proof that this guy is completely closed to any kind of evolution around PC gaming. He thinks we're in 2005, look at his overview message: "The PC is the pinnacle gaming platform. PC gamers deserve only the very best. Asset flips, retro pixel shovelware, game construction kit fan-fictions, mobile apps and bad console ports have no place here."

He really believes what he says, that's the worst part.

I'm here because I searched "Steam Deck" and this discussion showed up.

I don't care about the game, it doesn't look like something I would enjoy. HOWEVER.

I am in full support of the dev regardless of what one internet troll has to say. His argument is completely null. Some PC's have touch screens. For 5 years of my life I gamed exclusively on a MSoft Surface Pro... I dug through the Steam store looking for games with touch screen support. Even Civilization 5 and 6 have touch screen support!

Also, the entire "asset flip" argument is a joke. Assets stores exist for a reason. Some people prefer programming and have no desire to work on art assets. Hopefully one day a dev which sells assets flips can afford to hire artists. Until then, you do you.

Do NOT let this idiot stop your development journey.

If I were you, I'd edit the response to his useless garbage text wall of a review and instead write, "Haters gonna hate". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Best of luck to you on your journey learning to program and develop games. I know first hand it is a very challenging process.

Best wishes! Keep pushing forward.

Everyone, sincerest thanks to all of you who supported me!
You've helped spark a new flame.
