In 2022, Pinbit LLC, the developer of Flying Gorilla, uploaded a pre-roll advertisement on YouTube using copyrighted footage from the Spongebob Squarepants episode "I Had an Accident", presumably without permission, as well as the tagline "Gorilla's Bizarre Adventure", referencing JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. The advertisement for the game itself had been previously released on its own without the copyrighted content, alongside an advertisement for a related game they produced called Run! Gorilla that appears to have been removed from app stores for unknown reasons.
