'As one of the first independent developers and publishers of casual games for all platforms, MumboJumbo has assisted the creation of many quality games from developers all around the world for almost a decade.

In addition, Alexander Kiselyov of Playcreek, which created the iPhone version of Codeminion's original game, told Gamasutra, 'We believe that StoneLoops! of Jurassica does not infringe anyone's IP rights and we hope that it will get back to the App Store very soon.' He added that a longer public statement is being prepared.įinally, veteran PC casual game developer MumboJumbo provided an official statement to Gamasutra which reads as follows: 'We are aware of the statement from Maciej Biedrzycki on the Codeminion website. Codeminion's Maciej Biedrzycki, who developed the original PC version of StoneLoops!, commented simply to Gamasutra: 'Currently we are exploring various options and getting legal advice as we feel the need to defend our rights and our business.' StoneLoops! was released several months before the iPhone version of Luxor, and to date has been the more successful game, charting among the App Store’s top 10 sellers in the games category for its first two months of North American release.įollowing the weblog post and FingerGaming's report, Gamasutra followed up with all of the parties in question. Titles with similar gameplay styles like Tumblebugs, Blackbeard’s Assault, and Atlantis Sky Patrol are still available for sale. MumboJumbo persisted, and StoneLoops! was allegedly delisted as a result. On October 23rd, still allegedly with no reply or prior warning from Apple, StoneLoops! was removed from the App Store.Ĭodeminion claims Apple asked MumboJumbo whether Codeminion’s offer to remove the offending quote was sufficient to warrant dropping the complaint.

MumboJumbo also claimed that App Store customers searching for ' Luxor' (left-hand side of inset image) would find StoneLoops! (right-hand side of inset image) listed among the search results, due to Codeminion including a review quote that cited a similarity between the two games.īiedrzycki claims that Codeminion volunteered to remove the quote, but heard no further response from Apple. Gamasutra sister iPhone website FingerGaming covered the story shortly after it broke, adding the following context: 'According to allegations from Codeminion's Maciej Biedrzycki, MumboJumbo accused the StoneLoops! developer of 'infringing Luxor copyright, confusing customers, stealing Luxor’s look & feel and even stealing their source code.'' Apple notified Codeminion of the complaint earlier this month.

The controversy over Codeminion's and Playcreek's iPhone game StoneLoops! Of Jurassica was first surfaced due to a weblog post at Codeminion’s website discussing its disappearance from the App Store. Following the removal of iPhone puzzle game StoneLoops! Of Jurassica from Apple's iPhone App Store after a complaint by Luxor creator MumboJumbo, the casual publisher tells Gamasutra of 'misleading statements and factual errors' in allegations against them.
