Little Big Mansion (Surely they can't get away with this)

Archive: 10 posts


Sony, call your lawyers:


Little Big Mansion is shaping up to be a magical experience, literally. Krisjet Game Design’s quirky puzzle platformer puts you in the shoes of two magicians exploring an old mansion. Each has their own magical talents, which you’ll need to use wisely to navigate your way out. Houdini eat your heart out!

You start out controlling the younger magician, who can switch the size of objects. This happens to be incredibly convenient when you come across a tiny corridor no normal sized person could possibly fit through, or when you need to shrink a massive key to fit a lock. The older magician has the ability to swap the position of two objects, allowing easy transition between rooms. Both magicians eventually meet up and you’ll need to employ all the talents at their disposal to escape. This place had one seriously unhinged architect!

From what we’ve seen so far, Little Big Mansion looks more than just smoke and mirrors. An interesting concept and clever puzzle design could make this one of the genuine indie gems of the year. Little Big Mansion will magically appear on iOS in early 2014.

Going by the description sounds like they just need to change the name. Maybe they're doing it to raise some attention before they change their name to something that won't get them sued2014-01-21 14:07:00

What's the matter? I mean, Little Big Adventure's developers didn't sue Sony... So why would Sony sue these guys?2014-01-21 15:30:00

I wasn't expecting much but this actually looked really cool! : ) Got better and better as it went on. I don't really see a problem with the name though.2014-01-22 01:01:00

People shouldn't be allowed to sue other people's products just because a name is somewhat similar. I could understand if the whole product in general was a ripoff... but when it's not, and just shares some light similar aspects then there should be no problem in my opinion. live and let live I say. *mew2014-01-22 05:27:00

As far as I know, the term "Little big ____ " has been used several times before LittleBigPlanet was even around. This game is totally unrelated to LittleBigPlanet and they have nothing to sue over.2014-01-22 14:02:00

The best part is at the 0:24 mark otherwise it looks meh, but to sue the term(s) "Little", "Big", "Mansion", "Little Big", "Big Mansion", or "Little Big Mansion" have to be trademarked protected. a stretch would be "Little Mansion" or any combination in reverse/unarranged order.


i.e. Candy Crush just got the word "Candy" Protected
