elect.horse launches as apparent copy of gerrymandle.com puzzle game

Developer alleges elect.horse copies gerrymandle.com

2 Oct 30 7:36 AM · 12d ago · 4 comments · 1 source · development 2 of 5

The developer of gerrymandle.com revealed in a comment that enclose.horse's owners had previously inquired about buying gerrymandle but were refused. He now claims elect.horse is a near-identical copy of his game, including 'weird UI choices' and 'transparently LLM-generated' text, with minimal additions beyond reskinning and ads.

“Enclose horse was a big inspiration for me, since it's such an elegant game. So I'm very sad to see that they have decided to copy my game.”
