I requested a game called mBlock Blockly. It has many levels. It is categorised as “Learning kids robots game“ in App Store. Official website introduces it as “users can start programming robots by playing through games” and the game let the player control a robot to complete different missions. But it is rejected with the reason that it is not a game. lol

And also I requested a game called Mario Editor with tutorial level category. The game is rejected with the same reason that the game is not a game.

Edit 1: But two games should not be rejected by the reason that they are not the games.

I've heard of this app before and I checked it out again, Google Play store claims it's 'graphical programming software' rather than a through and through game. There are a lot of really similar tools though that behave more like a game like Lightbot though - but sir, if I may, you moderate over a hundred games and four series, is that not overwhelming enough c:

As for Mario Editor, tutorials are never grounds for having a game on the site, mostly because games that are almost exclusively PvP would be subject to be added for basically one leaderboard. But if there really is no conventional gameplay I'm not sure what the fun in speedrunning it is.

You can request again

Maybe he could add more info or explain why the tutorial is valid for speedrunning

@SkittlesCat83 welp i know cases of a mod requesting a series in the exact same way 3 times and it getting accepted only at the 3rd time after being rejected the other 2 who knows, maybe another staff sees it the next time and actualy accepts it :)
