frustrated with the Google Play

recently developed a themed game of the famous flappy bird, days of tweaking and design and was ready to release the game on google play in a few hours I get the news that he had been suspended, so that did not remove my developer account. I am very frustrated with this determination of google. As this reason was the use of the word "Flappy" in my game. But there is hundreds of play in games like google and do nothing!

this was the email they sent me after suspension

Research is helpful. Last month some time Google had let it be known that any game with the word Flappy would not pass certification. This isn't a secret and already went around the forums here and including my work place.

I can understand, but there was an insane abundance of the Flappy worded games and they litteraly put a lock down on the any clone game using the name.

It's not just google either, Apple does the same thing. Any games you see with Flappy made it before lock down.

i hear about this... it seems is real.

So you know you need to change the name, is not so dificult.

You could just change the name hover goose or something that goes along with your game. But yeah, flappy bird games are frowned upon by google.
