Ketchapp is a mobile game publishing company based in Paris, France that develops iOS and Android games. The company first came into the public eye in 2014 through its port of the open-source game ''2048''. Following that game's success, Ketchapp developed several games such as ''Circle'', ''Don't Touch the Spikes'' and ''ZigZag''. Many of Ketchapp's games are unlicenced variations of popular casual games by other developers. ==History== Ketchapp was founded on January 28, 2014 by Antoine and Michel Morcos. In 2014, the company cloned Gabriele Cirulli's open-source puzzle game ''2048'' and published it as an app, with advertising.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Messy Story Behind A Game Clone )〕 It eventually reached the top of iOS App Store. Ketchapp became successful by adapting ideas from other popular apps,〔 with many of its releases being variations on existing games, such as reworking the popular 2013 game ''Flappy Bird'' as "'Run Bird Run''. The company released the scrolling reaction game ''ZigZag'' in 2015, which was praised for not being a clone of an existing game.〔 Ketchapp encourages developers to submit games to them for possible release. In April 2015, developers Matt Akins and Mudloop both accused Ketchapp of publishing versions of games that had been submitted to Ketchapp and rejected, without credit and under similar but different titles - Akins ''Rotable'' being similar to Ketchapp's ''Circle Pong'', and Mudloop's ''Zig Zag Boom'' resembling ''ZigZag''. Mudloop later stated that they had learned that their submission of ''Zig Zag Boom'' to Ketchapp post-dated Ketchapp having a working version of ''ZigZag''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Was 'Circle Pong' a Ketchapp Clone of Another Game? Signs Point to No. )〕 The developer of App Cow's ''Circle Pong'' claimed to have built it as a clone of ''Pongo Pongo'', a game which pre-dated Matt Akins' submission of ''Rotable'' to Ketchapp.〔 Other games by Ketchapp include ''Jelly Jump'' ''Don't Touch the Spikes'' and ''The Tower''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ketchapp」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
