Question with iOS Games

aitor010

I have this question, I have 8/9 ideas of a game for iOS, my question is this:

The games have the same system (click on all balls but nor in red) only that the graphics are different and in some games have different options. The graphics are news in all games but the system is the same.

Can Apple rejected my apps then say "are similars" or in theory not is a problem?

really, I have many versions, for example, dog version, cat version, space version...... etc
Then my scary is these, that Apple call them "clones", I have about 30 different games (different in all) but after I have 8/9 versions of the same game, I want publish the different game of this way, the marketing can be better (word keys, tittle, specific description...) but not want lose time in make different games for that Apple say NO....
Then @sadida172 not is a problem?

My partner and I did something similar to that when we first started publishing to ios. We had a bunch of different quiz apps for learning different subjects. We had about 20 uploaded and all was going fine and then Apple started rejecting them left and right, saying that they were too similar and we needed to incorporate in app purchases into a single app. They wanted one app and from there you could buy the different quizzes. At that point we weren't really interested in go down that route so we dropped that line of apps altogether.

So my advice is you could do it on a app-by-app basis, until Apple says "No More". I wouldn't make a bunch of games and then upload them all at once, as that could be a waste of your time and resources.

@wpaten thank you very much!!!! Problem solver,
By the way,
In Android I guess nothing happens right? (I guess by not monitoring and have no control application....etc etc)

Finally, I decide put the kid version and adult version with different graphic in all my games. What do you think? Is a good election, 10 sections/games in one, only that 1 is for kids (4-12 years) and other for more adults person (13 - ?? )

Yes Android you can do whatever you want. Nobody regulates that stuff.

Well personally I wouldn't do it that way. It's hard enough to get people to try out your app even when you have a single niche demographic you are trying to market to. But mixing in adult/teen/kid friendly might be a bit of a hard sale. I guess it all depends on the game itself.

I look at it from the perspective of the buyer. If I were going to buy your app because I liked the graphics or the game mechanics, would I want to have a bunch of "baby levels" that I know I wouldn't get any use out of? That would probably be a reason why I would not buy the app. But that's just me. And I don't really know much about your game, so again, it may totally work for your situation.
