Aww, your original post was like a work of art...

(still nope, and the day a video game attempts to copyright the concept of stone texture is the day that i stop living)

I agree, your blocks look very nice, though stripe and metal would probably have the same physics?

Actually no, the metal one is really strong while the striped ones are impossible to move. I can post the characters for my game if anyone wants to see in just a moment.

Don't be silly. They would never take legal action for something so dumb.

Are you trying to copy angry birds or...? While you can't copyright something like a block, you will have to watch out if you're going to be cloning the game.



The cow one uses a very similar triangular shape and hair pieces as the yellow and red guy, I would be ready to jump on and say you actually ripped those two.



EDIT: Or at the very least, was heavily influenced to the point of ripping them off.

The "geometric" cartoonish style is quite popular for Flash/iOS games. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a coincidence.

While I would normally agree with you, that it could just be a coincidence, the fact is he brought up Angry Birds so obviously he's using them as some influence, which is unfortunate because he had a pretty good case until he showed the characters.

@Kramlack The head shape is not copied from Angry Birds at all, but if I did I would admit it here, I'm not a liar.

The head was based of a frog i made in my first game called Tiny Surfer (which is not exactly any direct clone of any other game in my opinion) check it out in the App Store if you like.

My game is going to include physic puzzles and I will try not to make a Angry Birds clone.

It's true that i use Angry Birds as an influence, it is the top game in the App Store after all.
