@cocos2dDeveloper Why not just retire and move to a not extraditing country. You were getting a million downloads a for a week. So I presume the paid version did pretty well also. :)

That's absolutely not true.

@indy2005: well, as cocos2dDeveloper surly can confirm, you can clone or copy as long as you want, only once you get successful, then you will get problems. (no one will care for clones where letting the lawyer write letters costs more money than these clones earn). Regarding angry birds clone, I yet have to see a successful clone where it would be worth for to go after their money.
Regarding crush the custle / angry birds, its simple: same game idea but complete different expression of an idea. No one will ever mix them up.
am quite surprised this thread got until so many pages
From the U.S. Copyright Office, "What is not protected by Copyright?....procedures, methods, systems, processes, concepts, principles, discoveries, or devices, as distinguished from a description, explanation, or illustration" It needs to be pretty close to a full copy to be true copyright infringement. Doesn't mean somebody won't file a lawsuit or send a cease and desist. Trademark and patents...that's another thing entirely. If you really want to know you can talk to a lawyer, I'm sure it's a 'shades of grey' situation. Also there is actually a Video Game Bar association and a book from the ABA, the ABA Legal Guide to Video Game Development that might be a good read for a developer worried about such things.
I think few of you just overreacted. Giana Sisters is a SMB ripoff and it was originally released on platforms competing with NES or SNES. Recently it was even released on NDS, so Nintendo don't care to fight with even good and popular Mario clones.
Giana Sisters iPhone
Super Jump World isn't even a threat to Nintendo. It's a mediocre game and even SMB on NES is way better. Actually Nintendo could sell some 3DS thanks to this game. People played SJW, and they remembered how SMB great was and few of them started browsing for Mario Games and they found Super Mario Galaxy, New Super Mario Bros. or Super Mario 3D Land.
All of us wants to create a great, unique and successful game, but only few of us will ever manage to achieve that. We all need to earn money and most of the time it's easer to ripoff some successful game from the past, make some changes to not get sued and make some money.
@ishadow:
Nintendo wrote apple an email to remove SJW. Apple ask me to remove it or they will do it in the next 7 days.
Nintendo obviously saw an unwanted 'competitors' in SJW.
someone made this site:

Very funny because i change the name to leps world ... haha
'shades of grey'
That's when it all comes down to who has the biggest lawyers.
@cocos2dDeveloper They are all just jealous. They clone better than you and you get a million downloads a day. Suck it up. :)
Eta for the new updated version???
@ishadow: If you don't see the difference between Giana Sisters and Super Jump World as it was when it was released, then you simply don't understand copyright yet. Not trying to start any wars, just sayin'. I think it's useful for people to understand this stuff before pursuing projects. If one chooses to infringe on copyright, that's their choice (free country and all that)... but better it be an informed decision as there will prob. be repercussions.
Take a look at the video in this review: http://toucharca.de/zHlIRw
It's an exact copy.. Wonder how long it's going to take before Nintendo notices.
How to get your game featured .... make a clone ... great lessons from Apple and TouchArcade
Oh well, got to get back to work on Konkey Dong ...
(thats aimed at the mariokart clone btw)
As long as Dragon Ball Z: Adventures of Goku is the 4th paid app on the italian app store and as long as a succesful and pretty new game as Jetpack Joyride is already become free I just can say that cocos2Developer is a smart guy that found a way to survive in this stupid market.
I'm very angry too but not with developers as Cocos2Developer, because at least he worked a lot on his game... imho Apple have all the fault of this problem. I really would like to see the face of the Apple's employe that approved Dragon Ball Z: Adventures of Goku...
Apple have to read again and with more attention what they wrote in their review guidelines, they seems so serious when you read that they don't want another fart app...
The AppleStore guidelines are just toilette paper.
Hahaha have you guys read the disclaimer of that dragon ball game?? Can't believe it. I totally agree, it's Apple's fault, they rejected one of our apps cos a stupid thing an cos they applied the guidelines out of context, and they approve apps like this dragon ball... Annoying.
A post about SJW has become a post about fart apps. Curious outcome.
We're assuming here that Apple reviewers have a video game background and knowledge, and I don't think that's correct. Maybe people who know something about video games are making video games, not reviewing apps on Apple review proccess. It's obvious that something is wrong, because those fart apps are obstructing the visibility of better apps that will give Apple more income and better reputation as online market.
But what can we do? Nothing.

Wow, that was quick!
I'm stunned by the amount that has changed and been updated.
I am really interested in whether or not you could share with us some details about the multiplayer?
Sounds cool! :) I love co-op/competitive multiplayer games.
Perhaps we might see a similar to New Super Mario Bros. duel-like mode? Hih... hih... hih :)
The main problem was I think that level design was totally the same as SMB... You change it ?
