[Microbe Kombat]

its like

a carbon copy of the first level of spore

fun, but a copy

HeroInteractive responds:

COPY/PASTE!
I can't tell you how many comments like this I've responded to. Let me just hit the main points of my usual rant for you:
1) This is NOT, I repeat, NOT a Spore copy.
2) The only similarity between Microbe Kombat and Spore is that they both have cellular stages that require you to grow. The design is COMPLETELY different.
3) The "eat something and grow larger" concept is NOT new to games. In fact it's used over and over again and again in MANY games. Are all of those Spore copies, too?
4) This game was in development before anyone at Hero Interactive even knew what the cell stage of Spore would look like.

Thank you.
