Spot the clones

Needle in a Haystack Simulator in a Haystack of Needle in a Haystack Simulators is an incremental game about finding one original game among five million fake store pages. You search VAPOR for Pin In A Pile Simulator, inspect the results, and click the tell that gives each clone away. There are 20 kinds of tell, including a zero in place of an O, an unwanted sequel, a suspicious studio name, fake reviews, and a cover with an extra finger.

Some clues call for tools. Use a magnifier to count fingers, a Cyrillic detector to catch letters masquerading as Latin, or reverse image search to spot reused screenshots. Every clone you identify can be sold on the Community Market, with the proceeds spent on upgrades.
