the sound at least seems identical
Yeah, no matter how similar or different the graphics and gameplay are, the sounds are the next best thing to identical. |

Ummm, he'll probably make more money off it on XBLA  . |

Can someone make it more obvious, with an edit or something, because I can't spot the equality in the tiles. About the sounds: they probably come from SFXR... the awesomeness grand tool for 8bit SFX. It even has presets to generate "powerup", "coin", "jump", sounds. the sound at least seems identical
Yeah, no matter how similar or different the graphics and gameplay are, the sounds are the next best thing to identical.
They are too generic to associate them with Spelunky. My bet is that they're made with SFXR or with a custom synthesis that SFXR simulates. I mean, most 8-bit games' coins sound like Super Mario Bros' |

I can't say about the sound (can't be bothered right now going and playing both games side-by-side), but from the screenshot it's not a straight copy/paste of the Spelunky tiles. Very similar in style, yes, and perhaps lacking in originality, but not plagiarism. You can call it out for being unoriginal in depicting cave exploration in a pixel art style, but unless they've lifted the sprite sheets (they haven't), you can't say they stole the art assets. Newsflash: Spelunky looks just like some games I was playing 15 years ago. Setting the game in an alien flesh-cave full of Amazonian Space Boobs would have been better, though. Mmm, bouncy physics!  |

They look more like "Aw, my cave tiles look like crap! I guess I'll look at how they did it in Spelunky and try doing that..." rather than complete sprite rips.

Yeah. It doesn't look like a straight rip-and-recolor job in the examples shown, although I don't have the entire Spelunky spritesheet to compare it to... But for example, there's at least one pillow-shaded rock in the Flash game that I doubt Derek would've drawn, and a couple of the other rocks are lit by weirdly ambiguous light sources. Not really to defend the developer: the style's still a little too close for comfort. |

It's a shitty game but I don't see anything here that's 'ripped off'.

I think it's more likely that he used sfxr to make the sounds. Everything made with sfxr sounds pretty similar. (like Spelunky, all of Cactus's games and my game) If you don't believe me, download sfxr and see hear for yourself. I think that game is clearly inspired by Spelunky, but I wouldn't call it a total rip-off. I think a simple "inspired by spelunky" in the credits would be enough acknowledgement. I don't think Derek needs to get all litigious on this guy. It's pretty fucking lame though. |
