  An asset flip imo is anything where it’s basically identical to another game but with different art assets

    An Asset Flip is easily definable:

    The developer purchased an asset pack or multiple asset packs on a game engine asset store, made no changes or almost no changes, and uploaded it as a game.

    What you have defined (a game that is the same as another game but with different art) isn’t usually called an Asset Flip, but instead a Clone. Clone games usually have much more effort put into them compared to Asset Flip games.

      Ah yeah, it’s kinda like how all cubes are cuboidal but not all cuboidal are cubes

      Makes sense 🙂
