An indie developer shared an early preview of a game where you punch walls incrementally to escape. After the preview hit 4.7M views, a clone was live on Roblox within 25 hours — before the original's Steam page even exists. The dev argues the clone will likely outearn the original, declaring that "building in public is dead."
