Way to rip off an originally beautiful, inspiring, and simple game into a hideous, gaudy, neon monstrosity.

You have no shame and I'm contacting apple about this shameless ripoff. I hope those guys SUE your asses, and they get every dime of profit you ever make off of this.

A beautiful, simplistic game that makes you want to play more and more. Highly addictive, yet easy to understand, visually cute and quick to master, yet hard enough to keep one occupied.
That's what I've told bobblebrook, when they first introduced me to the game "Coign of Vantage", which can be found on their page: http://www.bobblebrook.com/games/coign-of-vantage

Kudos for being so blunt and shameless in stealing someone else's product. You did not even name them as inspiration, nor pointed to their site.

Indeed. What a way of putting it.

andi: I did not mean to 'bash' JavaScript in any way. To the contrary, I find that JavaScript is one of the most elegant programming languages out there, and I'd prefer it to C# any day. Probably the only other language that is more elegant than JS is LUA. But then, you're stuck with whatever is supported by the platform…

Bueno: Difficult to make an object oriented program in JavaScript? It's really hard to find many programming languages that are more object-oriented than Javascript, erm, so…
