I wonder if the Game Dev for this (if you can call this person or people a "Dev") used the Vanilla Ice vs. Queen/Bowie defense...
I shouldn't say this but Monino is actually the original one, Nintendo traveled forward in time and stole my idea, BASTARDS!
Basically this. Selling fangames is illegal, even if you dont claim the rights to said games original iirc.HHKelevra said:
Nope. While there have been Mario games with star coins, none of them have used that particular art asset. The pipes, platforms, and backgrounds seem to be the same way: designed to look similar, but actually redrawn rather than just ripped.cursedseishi said:
Of course, Nintendo would never resort to basic gradients, or draw anything as ugly as some of what's in here.
P.S. Thanks

Alright people.
I am an independent game developer. We're trying to make out initial financial bones for larger projects with casual games.
This crap right here, is precisely why we're going to the Android market.
Apple is just too......Apple. Have a really hard time risking our financial future on this kind of stuff.
Seriously I'm sending out an email to everyone with the link to this article (assuming they haven't read it already).
It's not the only reason by any means, but still...this kind of apple insanity really makes us just want to avoid them altogether and go Droid.
We've personally known too many people who have been royally screwed by apple. Work on a nice lengthy high quality project, pattern it to the Apple app market, then boom, for no reason, rejected, then they have to rush and spend time and money trying to recover the project in some other way.
But Super Obvious Mario clone gets the thumbs up.
I hate you Steve Jobs...so much.

I love the picture of Bowser, You couldn't get more blatant than that, although the rest of the game seems to try hard. This kind of thing is done all the time and given away for free, Linux has SuperTux, a rip off supermario, even using the same level designs, but with the linux penguin, and another rip off mariokart, but since it is free, and they are not making a profit from it, it is legal.
But to charge for this game is just idiotic, someone musnt have been paying attention at work!

Oddly enough, The Great Giana Sisters was my first thought as well, although I first heard about it somewhere far removed from this site. I'm not sure where, though; I'm guessing either Gamefaqs, Dorkly, or Cracked.Endocrom said:
