Zynga has been blasted, not for just one, but two of its games that are available on both mobile and Facebook. The first game to be called a copy is Dream Heights, for which, developer Nimblebit made a collection of images showing the ways in which Zynga's version is similar to their own version, Tiny Tower. Nimblebit's game was deemed by Apple as 2011 iPhone Game of the Year. According to Venture Beat, the company, after launching the image collection even proceeded to tweet, "Even when you refuse to go work for Zynga, sometimes you end up doing work for Zynga anyway." The collection of images is formatted like a letter and calls out to "2789 members of Zynga". The company then goes on to congratulate Zynga on the launch of their iPhone game, Dream Heights and say they are glad that Zynga are such fans of Nimblebit's own game, Tiny Tower. They then wish Zynga luck with all their future games and look forward to inspiring Zynga again. It is signed from all three of Nimblebit's members.
