Hello, everyone,
I'm a little at a loss right now:
About a month ago I released the game Sticky Faces. This is a puzzle game in which the goal is to connect different characters with each other and finally fill a target area.
Here is the thread from the forum: https://forum.yoyogames.com/index.php?threads/sticky-faces.87421/
I was very happy with my work and found the game concept really good and innovative. Therefore I started to develop an extended version about a week ago: more levels, additional game elements and so on.
A few minutes ago (plus the time to write this post) I found this video about the 2021 GMTK Jam:
Game number two is called Sleepy Blocks. It was released about two months ago and, apart from a few minor details and another art style, it is exactly the same game.
If I hadn't developed it myself, I'd assume Sticky Faces was a ripoff from Sleepy Blocks. Even the name is pretty similar ...
Now I'm at a point where I honestly don't know if I should continue with the Extended Version of Sticky Faces at all.
What would you do? Thanks for your opinions.
Edit: I decided to take my game down temporarily until I know how to proceed. You can reach it via eimie.itch.io/sticky-faces, but you will need a password: sticky
