Cat Physics Copyright Confusions

creativeapps

What happen if I am going to use cat phyiscs type arrow concept in my game. I got one game sweet froggy created with gamesalad and its using same arrow concept similar to cat physics game. Is there any chance to get copyright notice from donut games? I will use different graphics for arrow. Please let me know

Don't even bother contacting them. There are not copyright laws preventing you from using game mechanics from other games. If you make a direct copy of cat physics, then you got problems. If there were copyrights on game mechanics, there wouldn't be very many games out there. Using mechanics from other games is a common practice in the industry, don't sweat it.

You can't uses registered trademarks like McDonalds or anything like that.

But as far as game mechanics go you are fine. You can make a braid-portal-doom-mario clone as long as all of the art is your own
