Just look at the lawsuit between Data East and Capcom over DE's SFII clone. Even though it was blatent, Capcom lost the suit. You CANNOT copyright GAMEPLAY.
If you do copy someone's gameplay you need to make sure it LOOKS different. That's why Magnavox lost the KC Munchkin suit. The judge couldn't tell a difference when looking at the 2 games. Thus it came down to aesthetics too than just the gameplay.
Yea, sorry it is very similar to Meteos. It was my first game and I originally was trying to bring the Meteos style of gameplay to a more casual audience (the Bejeweled crowd etc). The rules are altered quite a bit to make it easier. Also you can't copyright gameplay, so this project is completely legal.
