Hmm... maybe it's a sign.

The fun part is that even the original Angry Birds was a direct ripoff of one or two popular Flash games that were created a year or so before its release. I guess cutesy mascots make all the difference.

This all shows what's been happening for a while and why Cyan isn't successful. Lack of coverage and lack of advertisements. Rovio has both and is loved by the mobile crowd, so while Bug Chucker gets 1000+ downloads on Android, Space is getting millions.

But yeah, a very ... original... game, I guess.

The first screen in the video and the music kind of reminds me of Super Mario Galaxy but I do see the Bug Checker connection. Wait... Angry Birds... has been recycled in space!:

I think a prescient Malfhok gave Rovio the idea in May of last year in the first sentence of this post:

It kind of reminds me of Bug Chucker, actually.

Hmm.

HMMMM.

Guess you can't really complain if your game is inspired by another game and then the people who made the first game go and make a sequel that's similar to yours, but... still always a bummer to see something treated as groundbreaking when I've seen the same thing done before
