Hello,

I have recently read the Actionloop DS review here at kikizo, and while I thought most of the review was good and in some cases insightful (I never thought about the issues of colorblindness and puzzle games! It was very interesting), I feel I must bring to your attention the egregious wrong you have done to Mitchell, the developer, by claiming that their work is a Zuma rip off.

The first game in the ' loop' series was created by Mitchell in 1998 as an arcade cabinet, and a Playstation 1 game soon followed (called Puzzloop, but I think released in the US as Ballistic). Mitchell themselves were called on somewhat for copying the play-controls of bust-a-move (puzzle bobble), but I think that' s up to interpretation (the ' deep game' of PB & PuzzLoop differ quite a lot).

Zuma, however, was created afterwards, much to the disdain of Mitchell, and is an obvious clone. I don' t want to advertise anyone in particular while providing this information, so search for ' Zuma Puzzloop' on your favorite search engine or look at " Plagiarism controversy" under Zuma' s Wikipedia article for more information.

It' s an honest mistake, but it was tough to see Mitchell (the little guy!) get slammed repeatedly for " shamelessly ripping off" Zuma.

Welcome to the forums Jonas! Somebody up top will probably get back to you on that, as it does just seem like a simple mistake. Untill then, feel free to hang out here with all the crazy people.
