A. It's the same as Flying Knight, only the name changed. B. No it wasn't. The helicopter game is a clone as well. C. What's interesting to me is that google accused us of violating this policy: https://play.google.com/intl/en/about/developer-content-poli... which doesn't seem to fit. What would be more fitting is this one: http://developer.android.com/distribute/googleplay/policies/....

C. It's interesting how you were seemingly hand-picked. I've seen more than a few apps. with flappy in the title and description. My guess is someone hit the report button and said their app was being violated. I'm not sure how though, because "flappy" isn't trademarked, describing gameplay similar to another game shouldn't be against TOS, and I doubt you were spamming. For the takedown, Nguyen would have to basically file those requests and point them to the original app.
