Why should Quicksilva sue anyone? They only re-released this game in the UK. (I think the copyright belongs to the authors - Indescomp, a software house from Spain.) Second, there's no company to sue. As far as we know "Braintron" is just one polish fellow, so his works are considered amateur works.
The games are definitely very similar. Did you ever think that the author wrote his C16 game because he liked the original that much? And besides, borrowing ideas is not that uncommon it happens all the time in real life and also very often with computer games.
And unfortunately the whole phenomenon is all too common, even when the original publishers converted commercial games to the C16, it ended up pretty bad (e.g. Ghosts'n'Goblins).
