Castaway Paradise, published by StolenCouchGames (dat name tho)

On mobile so I can't paste the screenshots from their website but these images I took from google can also tell you what game this was copied from.

That's made by a GAFer. It's influenced by animal crossing.but not a ripooff

When you're being preyed on by exotic reptiles, overheating from tropical humidity, and at the mercy of bizarre insect species who cause any wounds you get to fester, you start to blame the environment as a whole and not the individual threats

The fact that the environment contains delightful treats like... bananas... or colorful parrots... starts to pale to the downsides after a while

This is an excellent rebuttal, I really can't stress enough how right you are about this.

Fucking Awesome/10

It does appear to play different, but I can't help but feel intentionally mislead. The graphic art, for instance the title, is clearly just copied from Animal Crossing. Your game is definitely no where near the level of other things in this thread, and it actually seems very polished as a product, but from a creative / artistic direction it belongs in the thread.

We wanted people to see the screenshots and instantly know what the game is about. However it's not like people can't distinguish Animal Crossing from our game.

ORIGINAL SONIC CHARACTER DO NOT STEAL

Its gameplay is also a Tiny Wings clone.

lol that is ridiculous

Sad part is, 2048 is not even the original. Feel bad for creator of Threes.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

cause the real enemy is youtube bro, obviously

Probably cause it's not worth it. How many people are actually going to buy this? Imagine how much time it would costs Nintendo to constantly monitor the iOS and Android stores and then file complaints. The moment they take down one, five others appear. And for what? The four people who actually buy them? Not worth it.

Sorry, but that's a rip-off.

"Influenced" lol.

Well, I always have this debate but 2048 is not exactly Threes!, it's the same concept, simplified, "casualized" in some point.

May be get rid of the "1+2" cases and do everything only with power of 2 was the thing who seperate the good game to the overall success game.

I feel bad to Threes! because there was so close to success, not because someone actually took their concept, correct the only wrong thing and republish it. This is hard but legal AND legit to me :/

Is that a game?

 

[Buddha Beam]

I've been working on a mobile game. As I was looking for someone to help me with the code, I found that there are a LOT of people out there who will just steal the code from a game and change the graphics. I didn't even think that was possible.
I had to re-post my job listing on a freelance site to specifically point out that I did not under any circumstances want someone to take existing code and swap it out with my graphics.
A frighteningly large pool of people wanted to do that and call it a day. Apparently doing so can get you a game in anywhere from a week to a few hours.

Wasn't there a video series from one of the major gaming sites that highlighted these kinds of games?

 

[Blizzard]

Sorry, but that's a rip-off.

"Influenced" lol.

The creator has been posting in this thread and disagrees -- is the gameplay the same, or is it different? I haven't played it myself but I'm seeing conflicting comments.

 

[Accoun]

Is that a game?

Yes, I'm not sure if it's on mobile, though. I'm sure it's at least on Steam because I have it (won in a giveaway). Although I have never played it.

 

[SkullHydra]

Oh gosh, I remember the thread about this game. XD

 

[TheSlySoul]

Yeah, that is bad.
King.com rubs me the wrong way because all the games they made are copies with terrible F2P models on top of it. Bubble Witch is Puzzle Bobble, Candy Crush is Bejeweled, and Pet Rescue is Collapse!

IGN's iPhone Garbage?

That's the one. Plenty of gems in there.

Yes.

 

[cpp_is_king]

Pretty sure Puzzle and Dragons / Tower of Saviors is the winner.

It gets even more ridiculous when you look at their monster books. Their literally identical, even down to the entry number. Like 343 will be some kind of Golem in PAD, and a Golem in ToS as well.

 

[Billybong]

basically almost every gameloft game out there..
