Fine, "heavily inspired by".

  Using the direct sprite data would have been a massive IP violation Drawing something similar can surely have people questioning it, but it might be sufficiently different to (try to) avoid bigger complaints.

    I don't think the creator of flappy bird gave a damn about IP violations.

    Not massive at all. The pipes are not a substantial creative artifact in their own right. An IP violation would require causing brand confusion or drawing sales away from the original

      You're thinking of trademark, which would require confusion. Copyright is another type of IP, and does not require confusion. It only requires copied content.
