this is totally unrelated but you know you have a "clone" on android? more broadly your game is very hard to clone because it is very heavily content based...unlike other hits which are easy to mimic because based on a simple game engine...what are your thoughts about this? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appslight....

Legally, they have every right to do this. This clone doesn't bother me because it's free and looks like it doesn't monetize on ads either (they just PhoneGap'ed the game and made it playable on touch devices). There is a serious gray area now with regards to ADR's trademark and brand (and developers taking advantage of the open source version/brand for personal gain).

EDIT: welp. it looks like he has ads.... :-(
