I'd say it's more that inspired by...

s'ok - I showed Loren before it launched, and he was cool with it :)

for the sake of your own brand, I'd iterate that design so it doesn't look like a carbon copy. Either people will assume you ripped him off, or that it's another of his games, not yours.

What do you get with the $1.99 upgrade ?

You can play more concurrent games and change themes (color schemes) in the app. The free version lets you have 2 concurrent games and use the basic theme.

How is this game different from Quarto [1]?

It's not :) It is an app version of the same game. You're the first person who has made that connection in months of beta testing and showing people the app. I'm sure other people will recognize it as well, but I don't think it's as recognizable as was, say, Words With Friends was an app version of Scrabble.
