Clones

Smash Hit  "Clones" (which may also be called Bootlegs, Rip-offs, Fakes, or Cash Grabs) are games that imitate Smash Hit (or a sequel) or are obviously copying Smash Hit.


 * No known legal action (from Mediocre) has been taken yet against any Smash Hit clones.
 * They were probably made because of the original Smash Hit game's popularity.
 * Often, the obstacles don't break well, and balls are badly thrown, and graphics are bad, etc.
 * These clones have also advertisements, that can pop up sometimes, which the original Smash Hit does not have.

Fake images
Most of the ballcounts and other statistics were hidden, or some fake numbers (not in Smash Hit font) had been cropped onto the picture. These images are usually edited versions of easily saved pictures on Mediocre AB's website, e.g. teaser, screenshots and artworks (in the Smash Hit Presskit), thumbnails for the trailer, etc. The most commonly edited images are shown in the gallery:

Searches
Many of these games contain a large number of unnecessary words so they appear higher in rank on a search. Some examples of search queries that would turn these apps up are:


 * break glass game (can you see Smash Hit?)
 * break glass
 * glass smash
 * glass game

(Smash Hit is usually the first or second result in break glass game.)

Other Notes

 * This website, http://en.softonic.com/articles/smash-hit-android-piracy, has some information about how Mediocre deals with clones of Smash Hit.
 * However, a web page http://gamedevacademy.org/creating-a-3d-smash-game-in-unity/, clearly explaining the basic mechanics of Smash Hit (and how to use Unity to emulate those, including balls and breaking glass), copied them and made a fake game out of it. Due to the lack of difficulty in creating a cheap-looking Smash Hit, anybody could create a Smash Hit clone from following the page.
