I'm not sure. I guess not as the code would be very different from the original (different language/platform).

"it doesn't compete with the actual product since it doesn't work on mobile"

I don't think this is true. Now people have a choice - pay for the iPhone app, or play it on their computer for free. Most people will probably never know about this version but I think it is still a competitor.



The game navigation is very different though. One uses a keyboard and the other tilting of the device.

Since the game itself is not original but rather simply leverages new functionality of a device to create a new game play I would say that their market is therefore limited to those categories of devices (ie. mobile with accelerometers of giros).
