The last thing I want is for people to reskin Mob Wars. I want people who make innovative games be able to find an audience. It really bugs me that great, well-done games by guys like Large Animal don't reach a larger audience. After analyzing the platforms, I identified two viral game mechanics that get games in front of users. Unfortunately, game discovery on the socnets suck, users aren't able to find games on their own because the socnets don't provide a way to do it. Until that gets fixed, we have to bring the fun to the players. The viral mechanics I talked about hopefully will be able to help people get fun games in front of the socnet audience.
