The authors of Toy Blast sued Hasbro for cloning the game
The Turkish company Peak Games accuses the American toy giant Hasbro of cloning the casual hit Toy Blast.
The reason for the lawsuit was a new game — My Little Pony: Puzzle Party from Hasbro and its mobile division Backflip Games.
Fenwick & West, a law firm representing Peak Games in the USA, noted in its statement of claim that “Hasbro and Backflip Games took the popular Peak Games game, cloned it and issued it as a project under the My Little Pony brand. When the game was released a week ago, it became instantly clear to us that it was just a Toy Blast ruskin.”
