Their game Ninja Fishing has been criticized as copying the game mechanics of Ridiculous Fishing by Vlambeer.[2] Gamenauts released Ninja Fishing in 2011, using the game mechanics in Ridiculous Fishing by Vlambeer. In 2013 Vlambeer published Ridiculous Fishing, with the highest rated reviews of the year.[3]

In 2012, the company announced a publishing initiative for indie Asian developers, signing up studios from South East Asia such as Kurechii Studio, Menara Games, Artlogic Games and Nerdook Productions to publish their mobile titles for the worldwide market.[4]
