On the right side you've got RedSpell's What's the Word?, a picture-based word game that's been tearing up the free iPhone charts for several weeks. On the left, LOTUM GmbH's What's the Word?, a picture-based word game that arrived on iTunes on February 4. Guess which one is at the top of this week's charts?
It's a magical business, the mobile gaming industry. Here you can make a complete copy of another game right down to the name (the subtitles are different), release it into the wild and ride the original game's success straight to the top of the charts. User reviewers have noticed the difference and are trying to warm potential players away, but who reads reviews on free games?
The original's developer has noticed as well.
Dear friends!
RedSpell team would like to thank you all for making this game #1 on AppStore in US. It's so much successful that there already clones that mimic the entire app! We very much appreciate your loyalty that fills us with inspiration to improve the game.
Stay with us, we need your support.
Thanks,
Oleg Volobuev,
CEO - RedSpell
If Oleg was here I'd hug him. This is a sorry state of affairs.

I love my Android phone. I really do. It feels personalized, it does everything I need it to do, and even though it has its flaws, I still like using it better than I like using iOS and iTunes (which I experience with my iPod touch).
Apps for Android, though, are rather infamously a minefield of "anything goes." Even though Google officially banned clones from their marketplace, Google Play, earlier this summer, knockoffs remain rampant.
The murky underworld of replicated games isn't limited to mimicking modern mobile classics like Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja, though. Super Mario Brothers, the 8-bit icon that launched an era over 25 years ago, somehow remains incredibly popular to clone even now. The illegal ROM emulators that Google Play carries in abundance at least make a kind of sense. These knockoffs, though, boggle the mind.
Super Daddio.
The jagged mountain-scape, mysterious door, and ability to throw bricks sure weren't in the original. Everything else, though, seems, shall we say, eerily familiar. [link]
Mobile Andrio.
Andrio, at least, leaves the 8-bit world behind and instead cribs more strongly from later entries Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario World. The lack of background music is, for once, a plus. [link]
Mobile Jario.
Mario's—sorry, Jario's—spelunking headlamp is a nice touch, as are the "J" blocks. Because why wonder what's inside a question mark when you can plop your own initial on everything and know the contents will make you awesome? [link]
Super Jump.
The developer's description reads almost like a demented haiku:
"The top has a needle.
Bidding increases the ground.
When you touch the screen to jump.
Good luck." [link]
Dr. Droid.
And we wrap up with this Dr. Mario clone, the full title of which is actually Dr. Droid (Dr Mario Game). Its reviews speak surprisingly highly of it, and yet one gets right to the point: "I would give it 5 stars if it was the real game." [link]
