Hi! My game was stolen (not for the first time!) and published on the Xbox Store under the name that you mentioned. It was removed after my DMCA claim. Sorry to hear that you paid some frauds to play this free game on your console. Here's more info if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/przl5v/it_happened_again_or_my_game_wa...
Yeah, that's the funny story. Guys from Cool Math Games worried that my non-commercial fan-game could provoke a copyright claim from Nintendo (you never can be too cautious I guess). That's why they asked me to change the main character's sprite and the name (because it didn't make sense without Mario reference) before publishing this game on their website. They mentioned that it's a reskin of 1985 in the description on their website but people rarely read those. Should've put the disclaimer inside the reskinned version itself xD
PS: the funniest part were the people who accused me for stealing Another Gentleman's Adventure. Yet they somehow didn't notice all the other Mario references that left in the game like mushroom that makes you big, green pipes, enemy design, etc. Usually I pointed out that to end any pointless arguing about which game was the original.
Thanks for playing and for your support!
Localization is very important. But this particular game has less than 100 words of text, half of which are default UI things like "play" or "quit". So in my opinion Nymphiad won't suffer from the lack of supported languages. And by the way it is a free game at the moment. I know 3 languages and therefore translated it to them. I won't mind if some fans would provide me with the translation to their languages (there is not much text anyway). I'll be happy to add those!
PS: for example my other game Knightin'+ has Chinese translation but it was stolen too just like this one. So I doubt that the lack of translation is the reason.
