Games = Games

Several (okay, most) of the games in Animal Jam are just different versions of games in the real world. So, I've made a list of some in-game minigames that correspond to real world games and apps. Can you think of any others?

Swoopy Eagle = Flappy Bird
Mira Says = Simon Says
Gem Ball = Pinball
Pill Bugs = Pinball (as well)
Phantom's Treasure = I Spy
Hedgehog = Pac-Man
Gembreaker = Bubble Witch Saga (right?)
Fruit Slinger = Angry Birds
Double Up = Memory
Sky High = Doodle Jump

Also, there will be a new howl topic up shortly. And be sure to check the contest blog for a contest in honor of 310,000 views! Bye Jammers!

(Thanks for the awesome new signatures, Panda! ^.^)

  6. I made a post sometime last year about all the knockoff games, I'll repost the list here
    •Swoopy Eagle - Flappy Bird (they practically admitted that in one of those AJHQ message things)

    •Mira Says - This is also a knockoff but I forgot what the original game is called

    • Phantom's Treasure - ISpy (it's a bit of a stretch to call this one a knockoff but it kind of is)
    Gem Ball - Plinko (thanks nafaria9)

    •Hedge Hog - Pac Man

    •Eat 'Em Up - Feeding Frenzy

    •Phantom Fighter - Space Invaders

    •Overflow - I think it's called Tubes?
    •Fruit Slinger - Anger Birds (Angry Birds is actually a knockoff in itself)

    • Gem Breaker - Bubble Pop (this game has so many names and knockoffs, I don't blame AJ for this one)

    • Sky High - Doodle Jump (or whichever one of those jumpy games came first)

    Honorable mentions:
    • Pest Control - Typical tower defense game but that's a genre so it doesn't count as a knockoff but it's still unoriginal

    • All the buddy games (other than Scooped as far as I know) - I guess these aren't exactly knockoffs, just straight up copies

    •Double Up - Memory Match (I don't know if memory match is even claimed by anyone)

    •Best Dressed - While not a knockoff it was sort of copied from fashion shows people hold in their dens

  7. Does anyone have blue gingerbread wings? I have been asking but people were like ''Oh I was just trying to trick you'', they ran away or they came but then were like ''oh I don't have them/know what they are'' or they tried to scam... :c
    Anyone have them?

  8. *** Oh and- I saw most of those games were knock-offs, I didn't know some of them though :3
    ,Mainly because I don't even play bubble witch saga xD

  9. I realised these, and a lot of these, I have played. Like, Feeding Frenzy for our Om Nom Nom, Overflow, well, there's a game on National Geographic Kids that, as well, made the same: Pipes.

    I don't think most of them were ripped off from recent games as for the old ones (as in Sky High, I mean, I think it was released first?)

    There's Sky High in the NatGeo Kids site too.

    There's a lot I can't recall now.
