  One Single Life[0] has a similar twist and was allowed on the App Store. 0 - https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/one-single-life/id417890518?mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/one-single-life/id417890518?...

    The reviews on One Single Life suggest that reinstalling is possible, which could be the difference between those two cases.

  I love the concept of the game, and given the broader rules on the Google Play store, I can see this app making it there. On the other hand, it's trivial to back up and re-install .apks, so the game would likely have to be modified to get around that loophole.

  I can appreciate Apple's strict screening policies, but it seems like there should be some avenue for appealing while making a genuine case for the value of an app. Quality is one thing because it's not particularly arbitrary, but when they are making value judgements on what kind of experience an app offers, that's a lot more up for debate. Elements like the Reddit's "Gray Button" show that massive user value can be had from one-and-done experiences.

  What would happen if they charge $5 for a resurrection?
