Over 19,000 new games were released on Steam<\/a> last year, almost an unimaginable amount. So it doesn’t really come as a surprise that a few of all the new releases would share some similarities and even possibly the same name. But there’s Piece by Piece and Piece by Piece, two games from indie devs that share the same name and <\/em>released within a few days of each other. <\/p>\n

It all came to light in a one-off Reddit post<\/a> where someone pointed out the uncanny situation (via Polygon<\/a>). You see Piece by Piece from developer Neon Polygons<\/a> is a puzzle platformer with 100 levels to get through which was released on March 13, and Piece by Piece from Gamkat<\/a> is a cosy repair shop sim which released on March 11. It’s quite the coincidence.<\/p>\n

Some fans thought that this close likeness could end badly for one of the devs, but after reaching out to one another, both sides realised that there was actually nothing to worry about. <\/p>\n

“One of the devs on the other Piece by Piece here, No More Robots & Gamkat have been absolute class to work with,” a developer from Neon Polygons explained<\/a>. “As a small indie team you might imagine how we felt when we first saw No More Robots\u2019 Piece by Piece. They\u2019ve handled this coincidence with nothing but grace and we\u2019re honored to share the same name\/launch week as them. Cheers guys.” <\/p>\n

I feel this is going to mislead a lot of people.<\/a> from r\/Steam<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
