THE DOOR CHALLENGE: Results!

Quote from Gambini

Did anybody noticed that Insta´s puzzle is a shameless rip-off of Machinarium? I´m sorry for popping up the cherry but seeing the contest was about the cleverest idea about how to open a door and merely copying a script from other game isn´t exactly clever.

Suprise suprise... With all this media around, nothing is new and everything's been done before...

You can't play/watch or read everything that's ever invented you know. Most of your "cool and unique" ideas have already been done by other people.

I think it's a bit uncalled for that you make such accusations, you could've compared it and stated the similarities but you have no idea weather it's a rip-off or not. It only shows Machinarium wasn't that clever in the first place if other people come up with the same stuff.

And indeed Insta, play Machinarium if you like puzzles

I´m sorry if my post sounded harsh. Reading it again, I have to agree. That wasn´t the intention though. I hang around other forums where people will ignore somebody pointing such a thing unless it´s overstated. I have been checking this contest since its beginning and when i saw Insta´s puzzle i thought about mentioning its similarity with Machinarium, but i forgot to do so. And yesterday, seeing he got the second place with that, i felt the urge of making people notice it.

I know. You dont know how many times I had "that awesome idea" just to later realize it was already done by somebody else already.
