Two indie games with the same name accidentally launched days apart, so the devs averted disaster by working together: "I made back what I put into the game in the first 24 hours"

A fox shopkeeper has a Lucky Cat figurine on the counter in Piece by Piece.

An indie game called Piece by Piece hit Steam on March 11. An entirely unrelated indie game called Piece by Piece also hit Steam on March 13. This could've been disastrous for everyone involved, but the people behind each respective game have made the best of it with a wholesome bundle that's warming hearts and helping both games succeed.

Let's start with the Piece by Piece billed as a "literal puzzle platformer." This game cuts up each stage into a bunch of jigsaw pieces which you can rearrange as you explore the level. It's a neat concept, but you can imagine the anxiety for Neon Polygons – which self-published the game – when one dev realized they weren't the only game with that name on the release list.
