I'm not sure I understand what you mean by that, yes it's a game, but it's main gameplay came from another game.

Only took us until page 2 for that to be clarified.

I'd take that as a bad sign, but I'm not certain I've ever seen an "X ripped off Y" thread/discussion that wasn't a meaningless train wreck.

On a more productive note, Robot Unicorn Attack is fun.

This was hard, guys.

Real men don't use google. They make other people do it for them.

Yeah, but only because it stole unicorns and rainbows from Dr. McNinja. Bastards.

WOWOWOWOWOWOW!
HOLD THE DAMN PHONE!
So, it's a ninja and not the spy?
Why does he have force powers to make a unicorn explode by force pushing it's head into water?

You should all be ashamed of yourselves.  The obvious solution is to chain the baby up at the entrance as a kobold detector.

Yes its a ripoff, but the graphics of ROBOT UNICORN ATTACK!!! and the music make it even better. They did improve on it a bit or at least made it more interesting/fair by allowing you to double jump and putting in some collectibles (fairies) and blowing up star thingies. Also dolphins.

The comic/storyline in question is Lord Sparkly, a Robot Unicorn that can turn into a motorbike. I'd say it was inspired by rather than stolen.

 Or completely unrelated.

 Unicorns are known nowadays for barfing rainbows and pooping faerie dust. It is a common theme that many people have used. Saying one of these is inspired by or a ripoff of is like saying Gears of War is a ripoff of Halo because they both have space marines that are big, tough and rough. It's a genre, not anything one artist can claim.

Also, pretty sure that the concept of Cabalt was around before the game of Cabalt.

What's with the stupid joke/troll threads lately? Is this VN again or something?

Pathos, I'm looking in your direction.
