New game on app store that is ripping off Plague

[Plot Seeker]

So I was browsing the top rated free games when I came across this:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/infection-bio-war/id805807843?mt=8
If you look at the screenshots and features it is extremely similar to plague. I mean even the first image advertises "Infect the patient zero with your own custom disease!". It sounds very familiar. I just wanted to make people aware of this ripoff.

yea.... it looks JUST like plague inc.
interface and everything. wtf.

[GrizBe]

Yeah.. devs want to get onto this as its an exact rip off.. hell, even the reviews are saying its a poor one at that.

[Plot Seeker]

That's exactly why I made this thread, to bring attention to this ripoff. I'm downloading the game now to check how much they ripped off. I'll update my findings later on
LONG LIVE PLAGUE INC. !
EDIT:
Ok here is my findings:

The text is exactly the same as plague. After you select a country a message pops up saying 'Evolve [virus name] by spending DNA points in the disease menu. Also "pop orange DNA bubbles as they appear to get extra DNA". You get orange bubbles randomly, red bubbles when you infect a new country and blue bubbles to slow the cure. Where have I seen that before?

The layout is EXACTLY the same as plague. There is a Infectivity, Visibility (AKA severity) and Lethality bar at the bottom. The top of the disease menu is transmission, symptoms and resistances. The transmission layout is EXACTLY the same as plague. Even some of the symbols are the same (Although it looks like they were drawn with a voxel based drawing program). The symptoms layout is a bit different however it has the same effects. The resistances are the same as plague (kinda, the drug resistance is locked). There is also a resistance called 'Natural Complexity' which reads "Cure research speed decreases as the pathogen does not survive for long in lab conditions. You can't devolve anything though.

As you infect more people the countries turn more red. Also "At the current rate [virus name] infects more people per year than HIV". Infected boats and planes make lines when they travel however the lines dissapear. Also, boats only leave greenland, they never return. This game is also a lot easier than plague. As soon as I started around 5 yellow bubbles pop up. Also costs doesn't scale. When everyone got infected I literally bought every symptom and resistance there was. Oh and when I started killing people it took me 12 days and a cure wasn't even started. Oh and this is on hard difficulty. There is only one type of disease and no specialization. The only difference is the news popups which is accompanied by comic style pictures (Which I must admit is a nice touch). But I'm gonna uninstall the game before my ipad tries to kill itself.

Edit again:
There different virusses. Bacteria, Virus, fungus, prion, protozoa, worm and lab agent. There are also evolution traits. Oh and did I mention you can't save your game?

Hmm.. same Dev as this, so not a rip off... Also, your forgetting the DLC for the phone version.

To get the same level of content as the PC version, you'd have to buy 2 DLC packs on the phone which bring the cost up to... guess what? £12.

So yeah... go away troll.

[Random Event]

99 pence is all I am saying.
12 pounds for a port over.
Seems excessive.
I have the game on my i devices and I know it is fun for awhile, but don't you get fed up with the constant sucking of money for so little work.

Even the "Early Access" tag, lol.
Any decent programmer would have the port finished in less than a week on something as simple as this framework.

If troll is the only thing you know, please go and buy yourself a thesaurus.
People are entitled to an opinion even if it is not in line with yours.
The mentiion of a fictional, nay mythical beast as a swear word, lol.

Get a life and stop throwing your excessivly chewed dummy out of your pram.

yea sorry "random event" but go back to OVERPAYING over and over.... and over for the same stuff on cod.
you can't call us rubes when you no doubt have been paying for cod for years and they havent even added anything new. the storyline is always the same and they recycle textures and game play mechanics. year after year. oh yea and the maps are so linear it makes a straight line look complex

[Plot Seeker]

Ok I played the game and listed all of the notable things I found in my second post. Enjoy reading the ripoffs.

And if you want to unlock everything on Bio War it costs the same as Plague's PC version.
Also please keep the "PC is ripoff too much costs" discussions for another thread. I don't want this thread locked prematurely because of people beating a dead horse.

I asked James about it.
He said that Ndemic Creations are aware of this rip-off, but they can't really do anything against it.

[404]

its because of the apple/googleplay store. they dont care, they get their money.
intellectual property doesnt matter for them so long as you dont rip THEM off

Dunno when those iOS games came out but Pandemic and Pandemic 2 have been around for a long time - Trying to infect Madagascar before they shut it down in Pandemic 2 is pain in the neck.

Well king sued the banner saga for using the word saga, I'm pretty sure Ndemic can sue this company, and win. I'm not saying they should, I'm just saying they can.

bethseda sued mojang for using the word scrolls too -_-;
