"Punch Kidd" is an indie retro 80's platformer remake for iPhone, iPad and Android!

In the case of Apple v Microsoft where Apple sued over its belief that the "look and feel" of Mac OS had been copied by Windows 95, Apple lost the case. That created legal precedent. Therefore if someone creates something with the look and feel of something else, but that look is not identical, the wording is not verbatim, and the sounds are not the exact same, then it is not copyright infringing. Furthermore, things such as the intangible feeling of a game are not able to be copyrighted. SEGA could theoretically send a C&D letter, but the developer is not legally required to comply. Furthermore, the music is notably different from Alex Kidd's music.

TL;DR: Punch Kidd is legally A-OK.

By the way TupWeb19867, thanks for making this free for a limited time!

I imagine a copyright lawyer would disagree but Ill leave it at that
