Did anyone see this?



Basically, this is about a Pushmo clone, but besides the characters, it's the exact same gameplay. It's called Blockshift, and the video shows that Pushmo's QR codes even work on this Android app! The fact that it's free is definitely tantalising, but the fact that it would potentially hurt sales by diverting any phone user away from the original product is alarming, because the people who worked hard on the game didn't get anything. It's got bad press among Nintendo fans of course, but there are strangely people who supported this because it's free and more accessible.

That's it for now.

I wonder what they did... did they reverse-engineer the QR codes? Whatever it is, I think unauthorized clones may or may not be a good thing, depending on the person viewing it. One thing I know, though, is why in the world they did decide to accept Pushmo QR codes? This smells like something that only the brazen would do.

Ow never heard of either of these games, but it wouldn't be unlikely for this game to be taken down soon.
Google is really trying to step up their game with that.
But then I wonder how much legal ground nintendo has to stand on, it would only include the qr codes and the
mario jumping sound.

Google's app submission checks are practically non-existent - sometimes, even malware slips through. Takedowns, on the other hand... well, it might work, if they are aware of that, but being a clone apparently isn't enough.

Google's app submission check is totally automated so I don't think they can check these things.
I don't know about apples check but they take a long time for checking the apps.

Hey all. I can't stop listening to Three Days Grace.

How good do you think they are? I still prefer my own music tastes. xD

[Mintaka]

I listened to some of their songs and they are good. I especially like Break.

[Piderman Sylver]

This has nothing to do with anything, but I am now quit enjoying this

OPPA GANGNAM STYLE! YOU ARE AWESOME! BTW, This video has 5x more views than his previous song "Right Now".

XDD He's one of the most popular entertainer/singer in Korea.

My Korea sense was extra tingling. I ignore it most of the time because I know it's just Mintaka, but when someone posts KPop... IT GOES WILD!

Regis, you're back!

Nope.avi I was never gone. It wasn't like my 6 month hiatus was it?

[Piderman Sylver]

My profile picture on the forums is SNSD. I meant for it to be my avatar but I messed up. So I left it.

Gangnam Style is about like rich people or something and entertainment and something something Hyuna. (She's the lady in the train).

Hello, world. I just watched a pokemon battle where someone used a Meloetta with only Relic Song and Last Resort. It almost didn't suck.
