When Aggro Crab Games found an almost identical version of their game on Roblox, they were not amused.

Peak Devs Calls Out Roblox Game Cliff for Ripping Off Their Game
The co-op climbing game, Peak, took Steam by storm, having an all-time peak of 114,492. Needless to say, it became a viral hit, as fans flocked to its mountain-climbing gameplay. With its success comes various games that try to mimic the formula. One such game is the Roblox experience titled Cliff. According to its description, it’s “Inspired from Peak, Mountain Climbing (Special thanks to those amazing creators!)” However, they might have taken too much inspiration.
Aggro Crab Games reacted to the Roblox game, expressing their disappointment on an X post.
“tbh would rather you pirate our game than play this microtransaction-riddled @Roblox slop ripoff.”

Cliff was called out for copying a lot of aspects from Peak. From the lobby, to the gameplay perspective and more. The only difference is the alleged predatory microtransactions, something that Peak does not have.
PewStudio Responds and Takes Down Cliff in Roblox
Following this, PewStudio, the developers behind Cliff, received backlash on their official Roblox profile. A lot of players started flooding their Roblox profile with comments, calling them out for blatantly copying Peak and monetizing it.
The developers responded to this backlash by removing the game servers from Roblox, making it unplayable. GKN, the founder of PewStudio, announced the removal on their official Discord server.
“Upon the request of you and the creators of the games that inspired us, we have decided to shut down our game completely. We are developers who respect everyone’s rights. Our only wish is that those making this request show the same stance toward other inspired games that are played ten times more and resemble the originals ten times more than ours. Thank you all for your support. You will receive your payments back in another game, which I will announce very soon.”
With that said, it looks like this is the end for Cliff as the developer stated that they are working on a new title. However, it’s not exactly the end for other Roblox clones like Climb, The Peak, and many more.
