Chris Buffa (Modojo): There's an unwritten rule of iOS development that says all smash hit games spawn clones. This probably explains the existence of Majestic Software's Blot, a game that for all intents and purposes plays almost exactly like Halfbrick's Jetpack Joyride. Thankfully, it's more than a cheap cash-in.

Yeah, it's just another cave flyer, but goodness, it's gorgeous.
