Suspiciously Similar is a new feature where Astrosaurus looks at an iPhone game that is shamelessly inspired by an already existing game. Sometimes they're blatant, sometimes they're not, either way we get a huge kick out of seeing these land in the App Store. See our first installment of Suspiciously Similar where were compare Call to Arms to World of Warcraft.

You smell that? It's the sweet, sweet smell of profit off of someone elses hard work. It's like we have our own little digitally distributed version of Chinatown on iTunes these days. The App Store proves that no matter what you create, if you're successful people will copy your formula and will try to capitalize off of all your hard work.

First we have Flight Control, the game everyone knows and loves, has been a top seller on the App Store since the day it launched and helped catapult Firemint as a developer to keep tabs on. There have been plenty of other Flight Control inspired games, but none quite as shameless and disgraceful as this one. Ladies and gentlemen, I present you with iFlighter Control (99¢) by Meson Networks.

Holy hell! They're not even trying to differentiate themselves. Just how close is it? Take a look at the real deal below.

I hereby grant Meson Networks honorary degrees in, god, I don't know what. What degrees do you give to shitty developers who are so talentless they rip off the exact formula of a game, try to pass it as their own and attempt to trick consumers by naming it something similar? Well whatever it is I grant them that.

I have to hand it to them though, they're wizards at marketing. One great way to convince people to by your title is through user reviews and testimonials. Meson Networks understand the value of this and decided to put a user review section on their official site. Great idea! Here's an actual screenshot of what some of their devoted fans had to say.
