So the developer created a new game that looks and plays like yours? You will have to rely on the discretion of Google. It is not as clear cut as if someone copies your images or sounds. But you have to try.

I would not even want to waste my time if it is just looks like and plays like my game but he present his game like it is official android version of my game. But it isn't.
It is misleading people with the exaclty same game description(appstore quote), logo, graphic, user interface, gameplay(even it is a crappy version).

Wow. Sorry that this happened! Hope it gets set right!
There was an old 2D side scrolling dirt bike game called Moto X Mayhem by Occamy Games and I found another game using their exact screenshots in the Amazon Store. I don't get how people can be okay with that. It drives me crazy and of course I reported them all over. Gotta get rid of those thieving bastards. Sorry they completely copied you @unbeatenpixel Glad they've been dealt with.

@unbeatenpixel Sorry to hear this happened, but glad to hear it got resolved quickly!
On the bright side someone thought your game was awesome enough to try and clone

@unbeatenpixel have you tried the copy? Is it your code but reskinned?
He even copied this part of my description with rest of it; #Featured in 10 countries on the Appstore homepage in September#
This is not reskinned app.

Agreed, it's essentially a compliment / a sign of recognition, but you still need to kill it with fire.
