Can you name a game that can not be claimed to be a clone or at least somewhat similar to another one?

I also noted that you did not mentioned which game he supposedly cloned. I noted that because when people say these things (whether minecraft or flappy bird or 2048) and I checked the other game, it usually turned out they provide very different experience.

He's referring to Infiniminer. Notch doesn't deny the inspiration[1].

I didn't mention it because it is common knowledge and openly acknowledged by notch. The game's name is infiniminer.
