Tiny Tower was one of my favourite games of 2011. Zynga must have noticed its success because they have just launched an exact clone.

    This is plain crazy. I don’t understand how someone at zynga went ahead and said ” Ok guys let’s copy this game and change the 8bits graphic to our style. No one will notice anyway”

    Completely WTF.
