CircleTheDot is a clone of the original capture game, Bag Bigfoot. Here's what we did about that: http://www.pocketgamer.biz/comment-and-opinion/60454/how-rethinking-a-5-year-old-game-in-the-context-of-a-clone-led-to-impossible-hex/ On 23 August, I was greeted by this email from a fellow employee: SUBJECT: Circle The Dot by Ketchapp Play and tell me if this reminds you of any of our games. Shoot me now!In the top free apps list. And yeah, I knew EXACTLY what game she was talking about.....
Ketchapp has made a (rather large) name for itself within the industry - unfortunately most of that is from releasing F2P versions of other peoples apps. 2048 is a prime example. The sad thing is I admit that I've downloaded, and enjoyed many of their titles. I will be trying your new version, impossible hex, and 5-Starring it just to help you any way I can. Good luck.
To be honest, it is what it is. This happens so often... how many times does a game not have a predecessor? I've started to look at old Atari games for some education/inspiration. All the best to you and your work! Don't worry about copycats, just do what you do best.
