I've noticed a recent trend in iPhone game development articles that implore, "Here be dragons, don't waste your time". Curious, I continue to read and find almost all games were developed by a single developer inside of a month. That's barely enough time to generate and playtest a central game mechanic, let alone develop and polish an entire casual game.
Spend some time on game design quality!
- jerf 17y agoI've played that game at least two other times, one of which was on my old Palm III. He didn't have to test a mechanic, he just took one. I'm not trying to make a moral judgment, just adding some info you may not have. The game is not original.
- pm 17y agoIndeed, the bulk of iPhone games seem to be unashamed clones. Should it be any wonder your clone isn't doing well? If you're going to steal a mechanic (most mechanics aren't entirely original anyhow), take the time to spin it into a new context.

- pm 17y agoThat's a fairly brazen ripoff, though changing the plane to a Sopwith Camel is enough to escape any legal troubles. It's just a pity this is what developers resort to when they lack ideas.
- greendestiny 17y agoNeither of these games is original. I remember playing a game almost identical over 15 years ago.
- reitzensteinm 17y agoThere's a pretty big difference between being inspired by games in the past (see below), and systematically copying one specific game piece by piece - name included. I'd like to note that I actually hadn't played any game like Stunt Pilot when I wrote it, although I've since played Pilot Wings. Stunt Pilot was designed to be a playable version of air racing.
- greendestiny 17y agoYes there is, I like your game and I think copying that blatant is reprehensible.
- wlievens 17y agoLove your games man. Keep up the good work.
- reitzensteinm 17y agoThanks! More coming soon...
