Man, even the music sounds similar.

Yeah, there's probably one bit with a fat guy and a "Pretzel Song"

For shame, Capcom.

I don't know why everyone is hitting on Capcom Mobile. Just because someone made it first doesn't mean its their idea. Does only one company make MMOs? Should we only expect Square to make turn-based RPGs? Would we have Halo, Gears of war and even CoD if only "id software" made FPS games?

Sure they robbed the idea and people who can't play on Xbox or don't wait to wait can have ''Splosion Man.. err MaXplosion on their iPads now.

I'm all down with 'Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery', but this is dirty, standing on a street corner plagiarism.

They don't even bother to hide the fact that this is a photocopy of the original game, they've analysed 'Splosion Man and ticked off each bulletpoint until they ended up with this monstrocity.

I'd love to hear Capcom Mobile CEO's opinion on Piracy now.

This isn't the same as another company making an MMO or a FPS. For this to be the same thing, Twisted Pixel would have to have been the first to make a side-scrolling platformer, and then Capcom made one too. But that's not what this is.

People are mad because Capcom specifically copied the design, game mechanics, look, and feel of Twisted Pixel's Splosion Man. Sega made its own side-scrolling platform game to rival Mario and everything was fine. But if Sega had made a game about a hedgehog with plumber's clothes who shot fireballs and warped through pipes, there'd have been trouble.

Capcom didn't just make another game in the side-scrolling platform genre here, they copied everything about one single game.
