Free Rider clone

A Free Rider clone is a term used to describe games that are extremely similar or a straight copy of any game of the Free Rider series.

Clone developers use plagiarism to make games that are identical to Free Rider, as a way to take advantage of the game's popularity.

Notable clones
Released in 2010, it de-compiled Free Rider 2's flash source code to HTML5 without any written authorization of the original developer. It gained popularity in Google Chrome Webstore, and copied thousands of popular community-made Free Rider 2 tracks.
 * Canvas Rider

At a point in time, the site has been "taken over" by Free Rider HD; it remains on the air, but apparently no longer active and has a link to Free Rider HD's website. Released in 2013 by Anton Vazhinsky, it was released exclusively for mobile (both iOS and Android). It is a carbon copy of the games present on the Free Rider series, with identical features, layout and a similar title.
 * Draw Rider

An update on the app has added the "Checkpoint" powerup on the track editor, identically to Free Rider 3' and Free Rider HD' games, another sign of plagiarism.

Kano Apps' standing
Kano Apps, developer of the Free Rider series, has a disliking standing on these clones, mainly because their lack of originality and copying of the games' appearance and coding without any further permission.

Kano Apps states that "Free Rider is the original stickman on a bike game and Draw Rider is a clone" and that "Free Rider HD will be coming to mobile app stores in 2015[already released] with a much richer feature set", showing how people should prefer the official and quality content rather than the plagiarized one.
