Tiny Tower dev hits out at Zynga clone
Indie studio Nimblebit has written an open letter to Zynga pointing out the striking similarities between iOS hit Tiny Tower and Zynga's upcoming mobile title Dream Heights. Posted on Twitter by Nimblebit's Ian Marsh, the letter contains side-by-side screenshots of Tiny Tower and Dream Heights which suggest Zynga has lifted not just the concept, but much of its execution as well.

Tiny Tower's twin currency mechanic also appears to have been lifted. More >
