At first I thought someone cloned the gameplay, which is not copyrightable or trademarkable. However, it appears the assets themselves are identical, which is legally a problem. But it seems there was no provocation to cause this?
Is this a very advanced marketing tactic, where the developer is also the alleged thief, and they are lying to try to advertise their game?
This is a weird one.

I read somewhere it was two friends and that they shared code, it is just weird in general.
