It does have a lot of similarities, but it's not a simple copy.
I tend to agree but with regards to the imagery of this game in particular I must confess myself disappointed with the changes implemented in version 2.3 to the character customization. Resolution aside, the actual faces look a lot less appealing in terms of both face shape and the overall flatness of the images now that the rudimentary "shading and highlights" are gone. I find myself unable to create a character that I find attractive which, whilst seemingly small, pulls me out of the illusion the game creates and prevents me from fully enjoying the experience as I had before the "improvement". Whilst Pizza Hot is shockingly devoid of actual tangible content, in this regard it certainly does a better job. This wouldn't be a concern of mine if the perceived drop in quality from my perspective weren't considered an upgrade but unfortunately, as it is considered a step forward, it is unlikely that we will see a reversion or at least another revision (bringing it closer to the original look) anytime soon. I will probably leave this work for a while and see how it has progressed in a year or so (if it's still around) as I have a fondness for the game format and a respect for games that have a good amount of content. Its just a pity that I'm leaving on a somewhat sour note.
