That's a fairly brazen ripoff, though changing the plane to a Sopwith Camel is enough to escape any legal troubles. It's just a pity this is what developers resort to when they lack ideas.


Neither of these games is original. I remember playing a game almost identical over 15 years ago.


There's a pretty big difference between being inspired by games in the past (see below), and systematically copying one specific game piece by piece - name included.

I'd like to note that I actually hadn't played any game like Stunt Pilot when I wrote it, although I've since played Pilot Wings. Stunt Pilot was designed to be a playable version of air racing.


Yes there is, I like your game and I think copying that blatant is reprehensible.


Love your games man. Keep up the good work.


Thanks! More coming soon...
