So we submitted an iOS version of our game jam entry Shinobi to Apple, this one if you want to check it out:
and it got rejected by Apple for the following reason:
"Your app or its metadata contains misleading content. Specifically, your app creates a misleading association with Shinobi. Please remove..." and it goes on about how we have to change the name of the game, which I find pretty outrageous. I mean the word "Shinobi" is the generic Japanese word for ninja, and our game stars a ninja, what's so misleading about that?!
So I am assuming that Apple probably means the game is infringing on the copyright of the popular console series "Shinobi" (which I haven't played since the Genesis years...wow, that's long.)? But it's a generic word! That's like saying you can't name a game say, 'Cheeseburger' because some other famous game is called Cheeseburger. Well I filed a complaint but I doubt Apple will care, cause they've always been draconian this way. We probably will have to change the name of the game to something else for it to pass inspections. I'm just writing about it so you folks know this is something that Apple cares about.
Well, at least we're not changing it on the PC version! Ha!

Hello! I would like to know if there are any pluggings or any way to customize how battles look?
I was thinking that when you start the battle for it to appear the eyes of your characters and opponents sorta like Ace Attorney.
Sadly I don't know how that would be possible so I would be needing help! If you can help me in any way I would really apreciate it!

The biggest debate we need to complete on which is better, Waffles or Pancakes?
