Hi all. this is Oriol the developer of the accessible game in question here. I do agree with some of your points guys, I mean, I'm not against reviewing app updates at all, but in this case, if the review board really considered the app to be spam or whatever, they should have said so in the first version of the app, when it was first posted in september 2020, not after like 6 updates. That was the main problem here. I have more than 200 users who have spent money on the app, and the new version was just an iOS 15 fix which rendered the game unplayable without this update. Luckily though yesterday the new update was pushed, they still want me to have a call with them because apparently my app does not comply with their guidelines but let's hope I can clarify this. I am a blind developer and I know that my apps aren't super nice, I mean I can't make wonderful icons and whatever and while I do pay for logos I just don't earn enough from making games for the blind to have icons everywhere, my players will appreciate sound effects and music etc much more than they will cool icons. Being blind myself I think I know very well what the needs of my users are, hence the reason why I wanted to make a game for the blind, and it just makes me sad that Apple will consider that this is spam when I know perfectly well there aren't any other hangman games out there made with the blind in mind, and. I know someone said in a previous comment that with SwiftUI the app should be made accessible automagically. While it is true that the interface is accessible if it is properly made with SwiftUI and its accessibility features, this isn't everything. For hangman for example, I have gestures to announce the current word for example if the word was 'hang' it should say h, 2 blank, g. Then there is the sounds, music, etc which other apps of its kind do not do as well simply because they're made with a mainstream audience in mind.

I hope this clarifies a bit what some of you were thinking, if you would like to you can try some of my other games, they are also made with accessibility in mind of course. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/choose-your-face/id1537309376

Thanks all for the support.
