The pictures shown above are not from the Nintendo eShop exclusive Pushmo, they are from an Android game called BlockShift. The game’s design and gameplay are practically identical to Pushmo’s. BlockShift players can solve puzzles, create custom levels and scan QR codes to download additional interactive levels – all of which can be done in Pushmo. Unlike Pushmo, however, BlockShift can be downloaded for free.
First, no.
LETS REPORT THIS
. what a rip-off. They’re ripping off games from e-shop as well as vita’s app library (maybe). These motherfucker dont have any ideas left to make a game so they rip it off. And that is why smartphone is selling because of this cheap rip-off. Thats just ridiculous. and they’re saying that smarthphone is gonna destroy traditional gaming handheld.
Who the fuck rips off pushmo? Thats ridiculous.
That’s iOS for ya!
Android
eShop
Where exactly is iOS?
Is it also on iOS? Because I see no mention of that here.
It has probably already been done in the Apple App Store, but it is hidden under the countless amounts of shovelware and few good software.
lazy assholes instead of riding on someone else’s fame, try to come up with something original,will ya?
Pushmo is an awesome game, i hope Intelligent Systems does something about this clone.
you mean Nintendo
Intelligent Systems made the game, not Nintendo.
Intelligent Systems are part of Nintendo.
With some nifty Sony pr talk, they can make this look like not a clone. :P
forget microsoft and sony ripping off nintendo. The mobile phone guys are the king of blatently ripping off nintendo. first the crappy pokemon rip-off now this.
And Mole Kart… that made me chuckle. XD Nintendo found out in 2 days.
whats next Zelda rip-off, kirby, smash bros, luigi’s mansion. the developers that ripped off those games a re lazy fucks, lack of imagination and experience.
Theres a lot of zelda like ripoffs on ios
that is pretty blatant lol
Oh please stop doing this, It’s just so sad the lack or originality that this people has. At least put “Based on Nintendo’s Pushmo” lol
Is Sony responsible for this game?
Fuck you Sony is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHA LOL YOU JUST MADE MY DAY XD
Again… every company is after Ninendo.
yeah i see the review, man there saying it the best game for android, um…. no, it the best game for 3ds, they don’t know because they (i bet ya they don’t own a 3ds) have a smartphone, plus its free.
So you are saying that Blockshift is the best game on the 3DS? Chose your words more carefully.
1. no i mean they, no mii
2. U mean pushmo for 3ds, blockshift is on phones.(U got it backwards)
a lot of android fanboys are defending this rip of game like there ignorant to know that this game is pushmo
i almost read blockshift as blockshit and they really are shit for trying to copy someone else its like the mario kart rip off mole kart or whatever it was called.
Lol I read it like that too! Seriously though, that should be its real name.
Do you know how many karting game have been created since Mario Kart? Ripp-off my ass…
I’m pretty sure pushmo designers got that idea from somewhere. nevertheless pushmo set the standards for games like this.
There is a difference between setting standards for games that are inspired by and taking the source code itself and changing a few things. It looks like most of the texture is the same as well.
I don’t think Blockshift developer had access to Pushmo source code!!
Yes, because Nintendo NEVER copies. EVER. ~_~
Question:
What exactly do you mean?
When has Nintendo ever blatantly copied somebody else’s Concepts?
Mario bros 2… they ripped off a japanese game and put mario on it. That was just terrible.
I see no problem with this. The mobile market is where most of today’s new concepts or gameplay innovations come from anyways.
Doki Doki Panic was a prototype, plus Miyamoto was the producer.
I am sorry, but no.
The game you are talking about is Doki Doki Panic, a Nintendo game, developed by Shigeru Miyamoto.
NOJ thought SMB2:The lost levels would have been too hard for American audiencs, so they took Doki Doki Panic and put Mario in it.
Ironically, many of the game’s elements, became a staple of the Mario series.
Which elements?
Shy Guys, Bob-ombs, Birdo just to name a few.
I swore Nintendo made that game :/ Until you prove me wrong I’m gona believe Nintendo was the ones who made Doki Doki Panic, and only slapped mario on it cuz it didnt sell well enough and The Lost Levels was too difficult to port over to America
You’re correct, good sir. Nintendo (Miyamoto specifically) created that game. And it was because Lost Levels was too hard.
So Nintendo stole from themselves?
Doki Doki Panic is the US version of SMB2 in Japan, get your facts straight.
really, what’s so innovated about Farmvile… Zynga RipOff or the Ville Zynga Rip or any Zynga Rip Off game that they have. I know this is not zynga, but none of these Mobile game companies have done anything innovated, as I keep stating time and time again. Infinity blade is the only game that’s actually decent and even then it’s not innovated. DS already had games for years were you attack by swiping the screen. So please show me one innovated mobile game… Please… I would really love to see that. All I see from mobile is trash games ( I even lost intrest in Square Enix ports because they didn’t translate well on iOS- Final Fantasy 3 (originally a Nintendo game remade exclusivly for a while for the DS wasn’t the same and just felt loose)- that I lose interest in an hour after I download it. Infact since I got a 3DS in February, i haven’t even touched my iPod touch for games, only for web browsing while at work on my break.
Same here man, I bought all kinds of games for my 3DS, even bought a cheap 32 gig sd card and loaded all my music… Ended up giving my ipod to niece. I just wish the 3DS was a little bit louder. I even jailbreaked my ipod and I still got tired of it.
fail…
since when Nintendo copies other people software?
All companies seem to copy eachother in different ways. Most are inspired or try to put there own take on others ideas. But this… this is just pure rip off clone!
Oh Certainly,
Taking inspiration from other Companies is a healthy way of moving Forwards and delivering deeper and more developed experiences.
And though these sorts of things are a little in the ‘Grey-Zone’ there is a difference between a ‘Rip-Of’ and ‘Inspired-By’ Idea
exactly it helps the industry, but this is not.
remember sonic on snes and Mario on genesis?
no… when was that…

I guess this is why Google is trying to find apps/game knockoffs and their developers and “ban” them from their store. It just gets out of hand, and just because this is free doesn’t mean the person who made it is not receiving any income off of it.
Is there anything whatsoever about the gameplay that sets it apart from Pushmo?
no 3D effect I assume…
That doesn’t have to do with gameplay.
I feel sorry for the poor saps that rate it 5 stars and praise it’s originality.
I gave it 1.
i pity the fool to anyone that are donating to these developers.
(a.k.a. quick scam).
youre a spy !
Fucking lazy ios bitches. Why can’t they be original for once instead of ripping off every company and preaching that they are going to destroy all consoles! Seriously nintendo microsoft and sony don’t make huge rip offs of eachothers games! They create their own games, why can’t you do this too? And don’t in any way think that this rip off will come close to pusmo, in any dimension. Ever. Period.
Sony battle all star is a rip off of super smash and the ps move is s rip off of the wii mote
-__- no. Move was designed long ago, but they never made it, plus it did 1:1 motion before the wii.
And theres about 4 games that are more blatant rip offs of Smash Broa that came before Sony All Stars
I’m sure Wii made them less hesitant to do it. Cause you know, Sony doesn’t like taking chances and has to make sure that it worked for Nintendo first. And it doesn’t matter how many Smash Bros rip offs there are, that doesn’t make it okay to do it.
Wow, just…..wow
i love how things can be such a copy but still suck so much ass
A lawsuit waiting to happen.
Who am I kidding, it’s probably legal. *clutches fist*
http://www.myfacewhen.net/uploads/3576-objection.jpg
This isn’t about laziness, or about being original. The developers’ motives behind making this ripoff are far more sinister: They’re trying to undermine Nintendo’s position as a handheld developer. They KNOW they’re ripping Nintendo off, and they’re counting on people seeing the similarities, because after people do see them, they’ll ideally opt for the cheaper (or in this case, free-er) version of the game. By making games like these, they’re making Nintendo look like it’s overly charging customers for handheld games, when in reality, we know that’s not the case. Ladies and gentlemen, do not view the mobile gaming industry as a piece of shit beneath your feet; view them as a malicious force that MUST be brought down.
Did I not say in a previous comment that business competition isn’t as friendly as naive morons make them to be?
P.S. Any time someone gives you something for free, consider the circumstances of which that free thing came into being, and consider whether free products are really worth the loss of credibility. You should also consider whether or not the company really respects your worth when it gives you the free stuff, and not just simply gives the free stuff to you because it thinks you’re a dog that will accept anything without standards simply because it’s free. Because if they give you too much free stuff, chances are they don’t respect you at all, and if you accept those things too easily, chances are you don’t respect yourself either.
Amen! nothing really is “free”
wow great statement
i agree with you fully.
The 3DS needs to stay a success so that we gamers can have more fun original games.
just wait til ouya is released… changing gaming for the worse, destrying established companies cause people want cheep trash instead of quality…
Well said dude!
I find this hilarious.
Know why?
Because it’s these same assholes who seem to look down on Nintendo whenever they are NOT following Nintendo’s tail.XD
Is that so?
Nintendo is busy counting their money to pay attention to these things :)
lol
*losing count
Not getting it. I rather pay more for actual Pushmo
Normally I try to defend games that are supposedly “blatantly ripping off another game”, but there’s no way to defend this shit
That’s bullshit. It should be removed from the app store.
Google playstore
Well at least it doesn’t support 3d
*Checks out blatant Pushmo clone*
thx i have been trying to figure out what this game was called for the longest!
pushmo, not the clone
Nintendo needs to sue. NOW.
The shamelessness is impressive.
Woah guys, the official app store on Google play says it’s inspired by Pushmo! So hey, at least they give it credit. But it’s still a rip off. Well, maybe rip off isn’t the right word to describe it, considering that it’s free.
yeah it was too much inspired by Pushmo to look the very same. when inspired you dont remake it. but make some thing different.
At least its free! Downloading now!
Wow… Bullsh*t. Pushmo was awesome, but this… they f*ckin copied Pushmo. Just like Lep’s world copied Mario.
