Apple has removed a collection of copycat games from its App Store.
Games such as Angry Ninja Birds and Temple Jump, which bear similarities to Angry Birds and Doodle Jump respectively, have been delisted from the App Store with immediate effect, reports Eurogamer.
Developer Anton Sinelnikov has also seen titles Plants vs. Zombie and Numbers with Friends removed from the App Store, reducing his library to 11 from 68.
Games such as Yeti Town and alleged Mario Kart clone Mole Kart remain available to purchase, however.
Yeti Town developer Lolapps is currently involved in a dispute with Triple Town creators Spry Fox, who allege that Lolapps copied its game ideas and business plan.
Angry Birds, meanwhile, saw a total of 6.5 million downloads on Christmas Day.
The popular smartphone game will arrive on Facebook on Valentine's Day, February 14.
