Good call, the shape arranging mechanic existing in board game form before Tetris, and the “challenge approaching from the top of the screen” thing was a staple of many many Atari and arcade games.

Or jigsaw puzzle, the thing is there’s nothing 100% original and people always get inspired by others.

Things is starting to get strange when a company only makes games there have the same aesthetic of a more famous game.

This isn’t Genshin is Craftopia

This isn’t Hollow Knight is Never Grave

Metroidvania and the Open World of Genshin is nothing new, Genshin share a lot of similarities with BOTW and have the combat animation similar to Nier:Automata but this company tried a lot to differentiate only in the mechanics of the game while coping the aesthetics.

Fuck Nintendo and miHoYo but come on don’t go and tried to emulate the aesthetic of a indie developer and than say “fight Nintendo lawsuit on behalf of fans and indie developers”.
