To Crack or Not to Crack?

by

“lol i wonder if the app store will allow the [Code Red] description to be “classic mode on crack” cuz doesnt that violate some drug reference rule or something”

That’s a difficult question, and I’m glad you asked. Technically, it’s justifiable for Apple to reject our update if we don’t disclose that as a drug reference and change our rating accordingly. There’s no double meaning to it; crack is crack. On the other hand, it may be permissible because it doesn’t imply that any people are using the crack, just that a game mode is experiencing the effects of crack metaphorically. It’s not actually illegal for an abstract noun to use metaphor crack, which I believe eliminates the controversy altogether. In the interest of delivering the update on time, though, we may want to tread softly on this explosive topic. Tempers run high in the war on crack.

    Lol, that cracks me up (See what I did there?) xD

    I don’t think it will cause a problem, I’m about 90% sure I’ve seen the same saying on other games before.

    Then again, I would not be surprised if Apple had you revise it. With the society we live in today, there is always somebody mad at someone over something.

    Oh well, I’m still looking forward to the update 🙂 Even if you are unable to use crack in the mode’s “motto”

    While we’re on the topic, might as well point out that ‘Code Red’ is also a type of Mountain Dew and that could cause a whole new level of problems :O

    lol, best of luck!

    lol, you made a new post about this!

    So how about “Classic mode on Caffeine”? 😀

    I believe that the description if ‘Doodle Jump’ has ‘crack’ in it, and the rating isn’t affected. Not sire, but I believe so.

    Got one more suggestion “Classic Mode on Steroids” 😀

    Lol, I hope they let it slip. It’ll be a shame if they don’t. I think it’s funny. 😛

    I was wondering, is the update is still scheduled to be out this month?

    thanks

  7. Gennaro says:

    Haha. Thanks.

  8. Justin S. says:

    They should have a crazy, unexpected early release. :p

  9. Gennaro says:

    Well a “crazy, unexpected,early release” would mean the update is coming out within a week. April is only a little less than two weeks longer so its going to be here kinda soon. Even if they don’t submit it till the end of April it will still be out within about two and a half weeks. An early release would still be awesome!

    Also after this update will you continue to be working on Tilt To Live updates, start thinking about your next title, or are you going to take a little break?

    @Gennaro D) All of the Above. 😮

    What happened to the star rated combo with the “So Inclined” and “Leanin’ Mean”?
