Who ate the cake?

Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake dev has been accused of plagiarism, but what do you think?

A little bit of controversy has flared up over SleepNinja's Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake. An artist has claimed that a good chunk of the design of the game has been lifted from his own creation.

The artist in question worked on a game called MonsterUp Adventures, and has suggested that the world map in Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake is a direct lift from his own designs.

We've stuck the infographic where the artist lays his claims out below. There are some similarities, but we'll leave it up to you to decide whether or not this is plagiarism or something a little more mundane.
