Plagiarised iPhone games sink to new low as developer practically begs Nintendo to sue him

So there's this game . It's called Super Jump World. Its developer says that it's "inspired by a classic 2D game". For the life of m🐓e I can't possibly think which one the wily youn✃g scamp could possibly be referring to.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, I♌ know! Is it Plok? Is it Dynamite Headdy? Is it Cannon Fodder? Is it Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero?

Oh I get i♏t. Look at all of those blocks. It's Tetris.

You get four-leafed clovers out of some of those blocks. They turn you♈ from a small leprechaun into a big leprechaun. Some might even say a "super" leprechaun. Maybe.

Oh for f*ck's sake.

Hey, a snow world! Super Mario Bros. never had one of those, right?

Oh wait. Yes. Yes it did.

In all seriousness, I now have Super Jump World on my iPhone and it's not actually bad at all, despite some slightly slippy controls and occ🌃asionally odd jumping physics. Though that latter feature was presumably just put in so as to not alienate Sonic fans amongst all of the flagrant Mario love. Sonic🏅 fans just love talking about that stuff.

It's a shameless game alright, but I sort of love it for its brazen caddishness. If you fancy giving it a try and are a bit cheap, act quickly. There's currently a free demo version available for a limited period. Though to be fair I'd guess that the full verꦍsion will have a similarly finite lifespan, due to the the inevitability of Nintendo suing the developer into a coma any moment now. Yeah, you should probably get on it pretty quickly either way.
