Default Tetris Copyright's

We recently uploaded to the apple store the game above, we are confident that we don't violate any copyright concerning Tetris, but, what is your opinion?.

YouTube - Bashnya

Strictly speaking (mathematical), our primitives to build the pieces are not tetrominoes, besides that the board has cylindrical shape, which gives a very different game dynamics.

Tetris Co. it's a company characterized by the fact that hunts the developers who create games similar to Tetris

One day, somebody's got to make a stand. One day, somebody's got to say enough...

Wow, brilliant game.
A 3D tetris style game is a brilliant idea!

I wish you all the best with it. Looks like a great game and would be a shame if you can't publish it.

Looks really good. It certainly adds a new dynamic to the Tetris game idea.

Well, the Tetris claim is not valid in law (not that it matter unless you have the lawyers to fight it) but you are using the Space Invader image which IIRC is a trademark and you can't use without permission.

I don't think you will get i trouble. Take a look at this crash down game. They haven't got in trouble. The game is very similar to tetris but still not exactly the same - it's the same story with yours.

I think your game looks very cool.
