Possible copyright infringement of spore game

I keep seeing this advert for a game called "war of evolution" pop up on my facebook wall and advertised in other games i play and it uses the look and game mechanics of your game spore (2008) i thought it best to contact your company in some way to alert you of a possible copyright infringement. It's in the play store being marketed as a new game open to early access, it's advertising in app purchases available.

    @ShoneWarrior21 You can find the video I’m talking about by watching their ads. One of them at least uses the bacteria stage of evolution in Spore as a showcase of their gameplay.
  • i picked it up just now because i'm jonesing for a mobile spore (and the 'creature creator' app had a "weird" relationship with the colour brown), and it's not just an app in the same vein as creature creation. it's straight up a rip.

    it probably doesn't use the exact assets but they're heavily copied from spore's style down to the sound design.

    if anything this should prove that people are demanding a mobile spore experience, so hopefully coming out with maxis' own should quash the copycats and encourage them to develop their own styles.

    so after playing some of it, it goes from a pretty accurate cell stage to a fakeout for a water stage before skipping directly into some idle game nonsense
