Zynga Releases Tiny Tower Clone, NimbleBit Strikes Back

Do you like this story?

Remember Tiny Tower? We placed it at #8 in our Best Games of 2011 list, and Apple flat-out awarded it their iPhone Game of the Year. Apparently Zynga (publisher of such titles as Words With Friends and FarmVille) noticed the game as well, and they’ve made a pretty shameless clone of it, called Dream Heights.

The game is only available on the Canadian App Store now, but presumably it will be released in the rest of the world before long. NimbleBit, the developer of Tiny Tower, has responded by posting a not-so-subtle jab at the mobile/social giant, which you can see below. Making the story even more interesting, apparently Zynga tried to acquire Nimblebit in the past but was rebuffed.

Twitter is abuzz with gamers, developers, and journalists voicing their opinion about this. Let us know what you think in the comments below.
