"MaXplosion? A theft!"

Borrowing an idea and rework it is one thing, do the copy and paste instead of a game is another thing. This is the gist of the accusations made by the developers' Splosion man, Twisted Pixel, against Capcom, guilty of having copied the XBLA title to make MaXplosion, game for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad available on the App Store.

"The video of the gameplay of MaXplosion saddens me," said Mike Henry on Twitter Twisted Pixel. "If you want to shamelessly steal a game, at least make sure you understand what makes it fun." "Borrowing an idea is fine. We do it all the time. But that game is an outright theft," added the developer.

"I do not know what to say about MaXplosion," said co-founder of Twisted Pixel, Michael Wilford. "I'm annoyed. Maybe we should develop a game for the iPhone better than that title, it will be difficult. We had shown the concept of Splosion Man to Capcom and we had made it clear they are not interested.'ll Always love you Capcom for what they gave me in ' childhood, but what are now? First pardon Inafune, and now this, "said Wilford.

Capcom has not commented on the issue.
