A Talk with Threes App Designer Greg Wohlwend (New Disruptors 74)

Haha what? If you clone a clone it’s still a clone. Reskinning another game’s mechanics is just sleazy work. They’re knockoffs. This is the same stuff many people lambasted Zynga for doing. It would take a single Google search to learn about the origins of 1024 and the fact that it’s a Thress! clone.

Mario vs Sonic vs Pacland have different mechanics - you couldn’t simply reskin one and get the other. The difference in gameplay would be notable. 2048 and the like are simply dull reskins of the same game.
