[Omiya Games]

Hey, guys. After working on mobile games for 4 years, I had a bit of rant to make, and I made into a game for September's #OneGameAMonth.  Introducing Not a Clone, a satire on the rampant clones taking over the mobile game market, and how it drowns out the original games.

Upon receiving his new smartphone, poor Jimmy downloaded all of the top-selling games that now demands every second of his attention. Help Jimmy play through as many mobile games as possible before the battery runs out!

Not a Clone is a Wario Ware Inc.-style minigame series where you play mobile games in quick successions.  The game is playable on the PC, Mac, Linux, and the controls are entirely done with mouse.

I understand it's a satire,  but after watching the trailer, all i want to do is play it because I like those games!

As a satire...I meant those games to be fun.  The exaggeration part comes in the number of clones, not its fun-factor!
Also, you can totally play it right now.  It's a finished game.

Well duh.  Cloneception.  The game is an exaggeration intended to make a point.  So of course I would go deeper.

Plus, I actually make that kind of joke right when you boot the game for the first time.  Why is the credits button screaming at you that there's something new, just when you opened it?  Because you unlocked the first clone: the game itself!

In all seriousness, making a unique game wasn't my intent this time around.  I kind of wanted a "unsuspected-mobile-user simulator" for this game, and Wario Ware Inc. fit the bill.

D'oh.  Caught by Poe's law again!

My bad.  I had the wrong impression.  For penance, I'll play Bubsy 3D for 3 hours.
