?? You forgot to list what the problem is. Aside from being basic, I don't see any thing else wrong here. Enlighten me?
It's just a copy of Slender. Basically shovelware.
A copy, yes, but it's all made by him, and there are many Slenderman games on here, as well as Mario, Zelda, Tetris, Match 3-type, etc., which are allowed. Now, if it was a complete rip, then it'd be mod-worthy. We've had a few Minecraft copies come thru lately, and they were rips that used all the sprites and characters straight from the game, and they were removed. This one will never be confused for the original, so it's ok.
Also, Shovelware is not quite the same thing as "a copy of..". Shovelware is often a cookiecutter game, but the main difference is that shovelware includes ads (sometimes lots of them) along with the cookiecutter game. The main purpose of it was not to make a game, but to slap some ads on a cookiecutter and scrounge another few pennies by doing so. If it was another Candy Crush or Flappy clone with ads, that'd be textbook shovelware. Simple copies are not always shovelware. :)
