I'm really sick of this. I'm sick of submissions that are playing on popularity or originality of other games or movies. Creators think, that if they pick an old concept and simply draw new appearance, then he will be successful. And you know what? It's working! People chew this recycled shit with their unbrushed teeth and feel like in heaven. For example, Homerun In Berzerk Land . A to me, it's a Toss The Turtle ripoff. Even style is similar. (Of course, Toss The Turtle is a tribute to Yeti Sports, But this is another story).

And now, Badim is submitting Doodle God and everyone is shitting with the butterflies. It's cool, it's original, Badim is genius. But he stole the concept (and even combinations) from one russian game- Alchemy . If you will prove that he is the founder of the original Alchemy game, then I will put my hat off. Of course, only those who understand russian could play this game. Ok, he could get a concept and give a credit to the original authors. But where's the credits?

Maybe I'm not right? Please, tell me- where I mistaken?
I would be glad to read the provement that I'm not right, that "homerun" and "doodle" is something original and unique. But that's my point of view.

Not to mention Super Mario Crossover, which everybody way overrated because it had retro references. The creator didn't even design any levels, the whole thing is like a traced over Mona Lisa.

yes, but at least he changed gameplay a bit,and it was interesting to play original mario levels with different characters, so SMC is not so bad.

most game makers lack originality.

Every platformer ever is a Jumper clone.

ha.

the same problem is a trend in flash movies, look at egoraptor at the beginning when he started his "Awesome" series he used video game characters and simply made a summary of the story and bam he is highly acclaimed. Sure he is a fantastic animator but still.....

I think you are mistaken. You know that there are different game genres, for example Homerun in Berzerk Land and Toss the turtle have one genre, BUT every game is unique. Following your logic, Regularjoe is right: every platformer ever is a Jumper clone.

Game is unique if it has something original, something that everyone will remember. For example Toss the turtle has its own awesome graphic and original shop purchases (like guns and jetpacks) but Homerun In Berzerk Land's only original thing is the protagonist. That's all. Clone is the game that has the same appearance and structure that original game, but tribute is the same gameplay, the same target, but unique way to reach this target. In other words, Tribute is when is important "how" , not "what". Sorry for my english, i know it sucks.
