Steam Quietly Removes Cozy RPG Over Suspected Tetris Clone Minigame

Starsand Island, a cozy farming RPG, was removed from Steam by its developers after discovering an in-game minigame that appears to copy Tetris elements (tetromino shapes, ghost piece, and a 10×20 board). The dev cited insufficient verification during planning and the use of expressions from external works without permission. Steam redirects to the homepage, and a new version reportedly prepped for release. Fans point to the Starblock minigame as the likely culprit, highlighting ongoing IP concerns around Tetris-like games.
