They all look similar to popular games, but one of them looks a little too familiar for one gaming giant.
“Build the Wall” asks players to stack colorful blocks into a barrier protecting the southern border from what the game describes as a “zombie border siege.” Fail to stack them quickly enough and players are greeted with “BORDER BREACHED.”
The gameplay bears a striking resemblance to Tetris.
