    Halfbot platformers are great, and this game looks great! I'll be keeping tabs on this.

    Oh wow, totally unexpected but welcome. SCB was fun, but boy was it hard as all hell.

    Was one of the one beta testing Muffin Knight so really can't wait for the original to be coming to iOS. Looks awesome, and I'll be behind you guys and Vlambeer till the release. Long live indie devs!

    Same. Muffin Knight proved SCB can work on iOS!

    I'm just a little pissed that Radical Fishing gets ripped, and now Super Crate Box gets ripped. And on top of it, no one seems to care. I bet Vlambeer is feeling pretty upset right now, and the fact that they're getting little to no support is just shameful.

    I was actually super surprised that noone had made a thread for SCB, seeing as articles for this game came out like 4 days ago. So, you're saying that SCB is getting ripped off by Muffin Knight?

    Btw, what is Radical Fishing?

    Yeah I know that. But the thing is, it happens all the time. Nowadays, you can't expect everyone's games to be entirely unique and original. Like I said before, the original devs can either take it as a compliment or get pissed off and try to get the other app removed. The second choice in my opinion would be a major dick move (unless the extent of the cloning was like the Blocks Cometh clone). I think for Muffin Knight, there is enough original content to separate it from SCB

    Halfbot's iOS games aren't exactly renowned for smooth controls. How do they plan to handle a twitch heavy game like this?

    The controls may have been horrible before (making the game unplayable), but now they're really smooth. I'm sure they've learned their lesson.

    And my next point is just nitpicking and annoying, but Halfbot's ios games? :p

    They're working on it with Vlambeer as well, so I'm expecting good controls
