And go! Tomorrow this game in full will appear on the Google Play store with the exact same colors. In 3 days this game will be rewritten in Swift, Erlang, and have a community based variation. In 4 days someone will find a way to merge this game with 2048 and Flappy Bird. In a week there will be 20 variations of this game including one called Dodge Squares on the iTunes App Store. I'm not psychic, I've just seen this script before.

In a month, someone writes a QBASIC version with random map generation and a month later, someone writes a javascript AI that can play it.

These are all cool things that I would be happy to check out, play with and read about. It's either this or another Show HN filled with angry detractors (kinda like this one), something about the NSA reading my email, or the latest boycott because Facebook, Amazon, Dropbox, Google, Apple are doing something mean to someone.

I don't think so. 2048 and Flappy Bird are based on a mechanic including random gameplay. This game is full of content (design of levels and text between them). Sure, someone can clone it, but it will take them slightly longer and it will be much tougher to make variations (possibly coming up with new levels, but that's hard). It's not the same kind of game.
