Well that settles it, I guess I can just clone stuff very closely at this point. The game in question looks like a massive ripoff too.

I shouldn't have to email youtubers. My job is to make games and your job is to find the games to play. Not the other way around, idiot. Do your job and I'll continue to do mine.
