Top Best Adult Entertainment. Itâs not a name that springs to mind alongside the likes of Nintendo, Blizzard, Valve or BioWare, and thereâs a reason for that. This is one of the worst developers in the world.
Not because they put out bad games, though that certainly helps. Itâs because of the lies they dress their bad games up in.
A ripped-off reader pointed us towards Top Bestâs catalogue earlier today, and it makes for grim reading. Well, hilarious reading initially, until you remember people are being tricked into paying money for this companyâs games.
Selling its wares on Appleâs App Store, Top Best offers a number of titles, among them Craft â Build Terrain, Zanda â Linked Swords and MoonCRAFT Mine. Zanda is such a shameless Zelda rip-off itâs a wonder Nintendoâs crack para-lawyers havenât already put a stop to it, but itâs the two Craft games that are the real problem.
Both sell themselves as Minecraft clones. Again, thatâs OK! As weâve shown you, some of those can actually be quite good if you give them the chance. Top Bestâs games arenât even Minecraft clones, though. Theyâre something worse.

âWow. This is NOT what I expected at allâ writes one disgruntled purchaser. âInstead of being a MC styled game, this is simply a 2D black and white jumping game with a Minecraft picture gallery.â
So Top Best include a gallery of Minecraft images (including the image up top), which they can then say constitute the provided screenshots, only for the actual game to be nothing of the sort. Then when people demand their money back, theyâŠwell, whaddya know, Top Best donât have a website.
Now, we could get angry at this asshole developer, but you know what, the world is full of dogs, and you canât blame a dog for barking. Those ripped off by these assholes should instead be angry with Apple
The companyâs approvals process for the App Store has long been a source of frustration for developers, but this is taking the piss. If Apple wants to have full control over what appears on its store then it has to assume full responsibility for the content that makes it through. And this making it through makes you question whether theyâre even looking at these things before approving them, let alone playing them.
With no developer website, no support (the âsupportâ link on Top Bestâs pages just go to google.com) and games that are either being sold as a lie or, in Zandaâs case, arenât even finished products (it crashes after the first rudimentary level), Top Best Adult Entertainment are a developer to be avoided at all costs.
The fact they are a developer at all, though, lies at the door of Apple, who more than ever really need to sort the App Store out. Because itâs supposedly controlled by Apple, consumers place a basic level of trust in the company that theyâre being dealt with honestly and fairly in the store. Stuff like this will quickly erode that trust.
