I looked on the Unity assets store and found exactly the Unity art asset pack they used. He does remark that the fact that the ability to take a game’s charm, turn it into a free game, and get the #1 spot on the iOS store is “discouraging.” Ben does snark about how easy it is to make such a game: I wanted to make a game where the world matters, what you put into the hole matters. That’s why I spent so long making this game. I think a game about a hole in the ground is interesting when the things you put it in are interesting. There isn’t much that can be done legally to deal with clones, but Ben is optimistic that his game will still win out in the end: Independent creators come from a place of passion, and nothing will destroy that passion like feeling like you’ve been taken advantage of-and nothing will kill the drive to be creative faster than seeing someone else treat it as a cynical cash-grab. Vlambeer’s Rami Ismali spoke up about the frustrations of clone games: They also received a $200 million investment last May from Goldman Sachs, an American multinational investment bank and financial services company. Voodoo.io’s games were downloaded 300 million times in 2017, and expects one billion downloads in 2018. Among their library is Infinite Golf, a take on Desert Golfing, Twisty Road, which apes Impossible Road, and The Fish Master, a reskin of the Vlambeer game Ridiculous Fishing. The copycat game, Hole.io, is developed by Voodoo.io, which has also produced clones of other popular indie games.

Hey all, i didn’t think it was possible but my upcoming game now has a cheap clone at the top of the app store lol. Yesterday, Ben Esposito, the maker of Donut County, who also worked on games like Tattletail and Anamanaguchi’s Capsule Silence XXIV, posted a tweet informing people about the clone:
The game also has some light puzzle elements in it as well as a lot of charm. As the player moves the hole around and makes things fall into it, it gets bigger and can get larger objects.
Donut County is a game where the player controls a hole in the ground.
