Disney Interactive has added in a new Toy Box game to Disney Infinity 3.0 known as “Squid Wars”. Unsurprisingly, this one takes quite a bit of inspiration (to say the least) from Nintendo’s shooter, Splatoon.
Squid Wars rounds are two minutes long. At the end of the match, the winner is chosen by the team that paints the most scenery.
For some reason, gameplay mechanics are rarely considered in infringement cases and claims. The source code and algorithm or method are what matter most. To be fair, Crash Bash (2000) started painting mini-games in the form of its pogo-themed levels where the team with the most points out of painted tiles gets the trophy.
