    Unbelievable. There's already two other COPIED games and one of them is actually called: GLTCH !
    Not even trying to disguise and a straight up duplicate. To be expected as the bbdoc was made freely available but come on...at least call it something else!!

    Since GITCH was a template it is very very easy to just release without putting too much of work into it. People were doing that and will always do that. The mistake was from BuildBox team is not to release the game before the template become available.

    We actually suspect we'll see upwards of 100 clones ...

    Is sad but not surprising at all. People want to make a quick buck. I wish Apple and Google would do something about it but they won't until it negatively impacts them.

    Just don't try and release via Google Play. I had 1 image in common with another game and they gave copyright issues. I finally today won that battle as we both were using a free game asset. Maybe I just happened to be unlucky on this.

    Since the template is available for free without any restrictions there is absolutely no harm done to put a clone into the appstore. This is what templates are for. But yeah, surprising that the original wasn't released two weeks earlier than the tutorial.
