So original, great looking, and HIGHLY addictive!! You could buy it to support Mobigame, or to send a hearty F U to Tim Langdell, but really just buy it because it's AWESOME. (Then, explain to me how people are finishing levels so fast! Like, the first level in under ten seconds?!) People, people-- buy this game! So original, great looking, and HIGHLY addictive!!

First of all, Bobby Bearing is more like Marble Madness, while MobiGame's Edge is different, featuring squares and cubes, and different play mechanics. The only similarity between the two is the fact you navigate an avatar through an isometric maze. Secondly, MobiGame chose the name "Edge" most likely because in their game, your avatar is a cube (and cubes have EDGES, you know) and you must be careful not to go over the edge (which is what you seem to be doing). Finally, I'm sure MobiGame had no intention of using the name Edge to fool anyone into thinking they're buying Bobby Bearing because "edge" is a common noun that tends to pop up when talking about cubes and it fits the gameplay well. I never even HEARD of Bobby Bearing until I read your post because (from what I read on Wikipedia) it only saw release on three outdated computers (I didn't have a C64, and the other two were mainly in the UK), but if you make an iPhone version maybe I'll give it a try...
