We made casual/puzzle game called Breaking Good. It's kind of match-3 game about chemistry yet it's unique. There are 1 puzzle with 4 views and more than 900 chemical compounds to solve.

If this game will be on Steam, we will giveaway some copies on this site. ;) But of course we don't beg for votes or else.

Thank you for attention.

It looks really nice but i doubt you will make it in time. you will need like 900+ votes to be in the top 50. since this is the last patch everybody is trying to boost himself in ;)

looks nice, but i would consider changing either the name or the logo since it's way too similar to the tv series, it could get you in trouble.

Well I didn't mean to "earn on someone's glory", no, I just thought it would be fun, you know, "chemistry", "Breaking Bad"... I doubt that there are some copyrights or trademarks or that AMC will be interested in it, but I will probably change it because of stupid hate to me in the comments. I really didn't expect this hateful reaction.

You should call it Chemystery or something like that. Problem solved.

If you were making a full-on parody of the TV series, all would be good. But I'm fairly certain that this wouldn't qualify. So you'll almost certainly need to change the name and logo.

P.S. A few passing jokes would not be enough to qualify, it would need to be a true parody.

Even then he would be asking for trouble. Parody is a defense, not a shield of protection. AMC could still file a dcma and then the dev would have a chance of defending himself under parody.

American law stipulates that you must vigorously defend your copyrghts/trademarks so you lose them. Doesn't matter how small you are, if AMC finds this, they will file a DCMA first and ask questions later. It's not worth the hassle.

A very commonly perpetuated myth, but not actually correct.

Myth #11: If I don’t defend my copyright I may lose it
False. Copyright protection is effectively never lost, unless explicitly given away or the copyright has expired. However, if you do not actively defend your copyright, there may be broader unauthorized uses than you would like. It is a good idea to pursue enforcement actions as soon as you discover misuse of your copyright protected material.

Although icon has been changed, I have to mention (thanks to Ozpicious):

Unprotected Materials
Titles, names, short phrases, and slogans; familiar symbols or designs; mere variations of typographic ornamentation, lettering, or coloring; mere listings of ingredients or contents.

Easily protected by Parody. When it's all said and done, the names and logos are similar, but different.

The name is fine I think. He could avoid all this drama if he just changes the logo (which is easy.)

Well apart the fun, I made it in honor of that show because it was really good and so people can remember that, maybe someone will go re-watch it again, some people probably could discover it for themselves. I personally know people who doesn't know that show. But some people just can't see good intentions. And although some people rated the fun part, others started to shout that I stole smth, like if I robbed exactly them. However, enjoy new icon now...

Why not use some chemistry formula for a name and logo? Something that sounds cool but also has a meaning that could be considered subtitle for the game. Like a pun of sorts.

Just quickly browsing the comments and discussions (for your game), you're going to need a thick skin to deal with some of the people there.
Good luck with your game, though -- it looks nice so I gave it an upvote. :)

You don't have much detail about the game provided, and it seems to only have a time attack mode, which limits the breadth of its appeal. You may want to consider adding more customization and gameplay modes [assuming they don't exist, given the lack of detail] and expand on detail in the description.
A good greenlight page is very similar to a good store page- treat it like you're aiming for customers, rather than putting up a half-hearted blurb, and it'll come across a lot less dubious and a lot more compelling.

Well, more details to be added. I am bad at composition though. XD So I have to ask my friends to say something, maybe. Or not.
About "more content", some people said that "there are a lot of everything", so opinions are different. It is simple as for me, but I am the creator of it, so yes, it is simple for me of course. But it seems it is not that simple for some of people (according to recalls). I am not sure that adding even more stuff won't scare others.

Do you mean call the bump itself somehow? Can you provide some example please so I get it right?

Thank you for support, I appreciate that! I tried to make simple but quality product and not a shovelware. I will do my best to add cards and achievements. We haven't decided about price yet. However, if it will be in the store, we will make a lot of different sales (it is right of devs and not of steam as far as I know). And as stated above, yes, I (or we) will make some giveaways here, but it is not bribe in any sense.

No copyright problems with the name, is it just distorted/inverted common saying. Also:

Unprotected Materials
Titles, names, short phrases, and slogans; familiar symbols or designs; mere variations of typographic ornamentation, lettering, or coloring; mere listings of ingredients or contents.

This has been brought up before, but I suggest you guys remove any references to Breaking Bad, especially if it's not related in any way.

I think it will really stain your game's name if you promote it by associating it with another form of media, pop culture, a brand etc. It looks bad and will put many people off, they will think it's just another meme filled joke-game, which are usually trash.

This game, on the other hand, is not like that. I like the idea, it's interesting and different from what you usually see, and it looks pretty polished, so the correlation between it and ...whatever else that's unrelated but exists already, will do it more harm than good. Even if the name sounds somewhat quirky. :)
Good luck on getting Greenlit!
