The silver lining: it really only happens to successful games that sell many copies. I hope @oh_gemblo is credited and compensated properly for this project going forward!

Oh my god. If there was somehow any doubt that they just ripped off Toc Toc Woodman, they literally use a
@ShutUpShow review quote for Toc Tic Woodman in the Bamboo Bash KS... That's so awful.pic.twitter.com/gtWadVDKBR

Disappointed to see so many people jumping on this. I’ve played & reviewed both *click clack lumberjack* They are different games with the same mechanism. Bamboo Bash takes away randomness, changes the scoring, removes bugs & adds the panda which does make a gameplay difference.

While it is technically (and legally) different, this is clearly not a new creation. This is not the same as taking a mechanism and making something entirely new (dominion->clank), this is a new coat of paint (Kardinal & Konig -> Spirits) in order to subvert licensing.

This is NOT the same game and never tried to be. As stated on the KS page it takes some inspiration from Toc Toc and it was very upfront about that.pic.twitter.com/GoJizwY9Qz

No - IP theft would be calling the game "Toc Toc Woodman" and lifting that game's artwork. A mechanically similar game with a different skin infringes on neither trademark nor copyright. You may not like it, but that's facts.

it’s legal but not particularly ethical. but you’re right in that it’s not technically IP theft.

Huh. Something that’s technically legal but ethically questionable coming from Mayday? YOU DON’T SAY.
