That's what happens when something above average is released. People check it out, looks for ways to improve it, and then copy it. On top of that, they charge people $1.99 or more for it. It's just the way the world works. You have to have known this would happen right? That’s what happens when something above average is released.

And you do make a good point Andy, there are many different copycats out there for Connect 4 and all that - so I guess it's bound to happen. It was copied from Mac OS9, to PC, to iPhone and iPod touch - it's been all over the place. So I guess I'm wrong to say that r4m0n had the original idea, but I still think that he deserves some recognition for being the first to bring it to the iPhone and iPod touch back in Firmware 1.1.x when there was no App Store. He put a lot of time into it and developed a good application as well as a level maker. Kudos to you r4m0n, and looking forward to your full version of iPhysics on the App Store soon.

Interactive Physics on Mac OS9 pre-dated Crayon Physics. Personally I like having some choice, and ironically Crayon Physics Deluxe on the iPhone is the worst implementation of them all ! It won't let me draw objects most of the time without rebooting, and the frame rate is about 2-3 fps. It's a poor port from the PC version. There are many copycat games out there, some better than the original, how many doom lookalikes, connect 4, etc. are there?

I guess r4m0n was the original copycat by bringing it to the iPhone, but the other developers likely took that idea of having Crayon Physics on the iPhone and iPod touch and made their own applications.

Face it, r4m0n did the ripping off and is just lucky he didn't get a cease and desist like the line rider guy.

I believe they have been planning to release it on the app store ever since the app store was announced, they most likely don't even know that r4m0n stole their entire game and released it on the iPhone.
