I mean bloody hell, isn’t there enough of them? One flappy bird is enough.

Hehe, yea. I was just thinking that apple should make a category just especially for them.
The problem isn’t necessarily with the developers, but the consumers that keep throwing their money/time at them. A lot of those clones are stupidly successful so far.
At least they’re making something putting it out there instead of just moaning on a forum…
They’re not making anything, they’re copying.
Copying is still better than doing nothing. At least they’re being productive.
I agree, stop making them - guys its because people are selling templates that they make them.
I dont want to place links to templates source code as it allow people gain more visibility.
We need to stop the template sellers!!!
Why the developers are only pursuing a fad that ‘worked’ for one developer. And it seems to be a type of game that people want to play: free, addictive and simple gameplay with cute friendly graphics.
It’s like all the slender clones that came after the Eight Pages. Just stop.
So Candy Crush suing the guy they stole from is “being prductive”…?
Why?
Ever heard of “free enterprise”, or “supply and demand”?
There is no reason to stop something. This will die out eventually, when people get tired of it.
Seriously, you want to make games? Then make them and stop ranting about other developers in a forum.
We’re not allowed to express our opinions?
Yeh I have heard all of them, when a noob starts making “crap” from a template he bought on the web and expects to be rich…then im like thats cute
Seems like you yourself are probably one of them
And what other developers in the forum am I ranting about?
EDIT: I see you are replying to every flappy bird thread on here, please link us to all the clones you have made so I can see the quality of them?
Who cares…
Are you serious?
Very.
Why should i care if people want to copy some silly mobile hit? I am not forced to play them and i am not forced to create a copy my self.
I’m with you.
What is exactly the problem here…?
Are they having fun making those clones? Or are they just making money with those clones? Or maybe none of those, so they are wasting their own time with those clones… why should any of this be a concern to us? Don’t worry, be happy!
This is casual gaming, nothing else. Tetris, platformers, tower defense, side scroller cars that ride on hills… etc. it’s full of games like this. Should be the least of our concerns.
Actually people keep doing them, people will get fed up with them and maybe they’ll want something different.
Also I would recommend every newbie to try to make a flappy bird instead of Pong. Sounds more fun as a first project.
It’s not about fun, game dev isn’t mean to be fun.
Submit a clone now and you will most likely get the response of:
Rejected. ‘We found your app name attempts to leverage a popular app’
Both Google and Apple are cracking down on this sort of thing.
