Rejected!
December 3 by John for Red Conquest
Red Conquest has been rejected from the app store due to a silly "naming inconsistency"...
It was called "Red Conquest!" in the App Store, but "Conquer!" on the device - just like "Blue Defense!" is "Defend!".
I've resubmitted, and I still think it should be out in time for Christmas.
I don't think it's reasonable to reject apps over such trifling details - especially when such details are there because of artistic direction, or because of technical limitations of Apple's own setup.
First off, the device only has so much room for the App name - so you have to shorten your name already (thus introducing inconsistency). Second, I really like the convention of shortening "Blue Defense!" to "Defend!" in the device - making it a verb, instead of a noun, is like saying "yeah! that's what I'll do! I'll go defend the planet!" instead of saying "Blue Defense is a good app to play, I'll touch it now.
The imperative of the verb Defend! or Conquer! is more appealing to me than shortening "Red Conquest!" to "Conquest!" just for consistency's sake.
I guess that's my rant for now. Let's wait and see if the resubmission gets rejected!

This really got my blood boiling, but apparently after you're rejected, you're at least on someone's radar - I think it won't be a full week's delay, maybe just a day. We'll see. :)
I've reverted back to cautious optimism!

I love space rts games and blue attack was awesome I can't wait for this, and shouldn't it already be accepted if it was re-submitted a few days ago?
That's what people keep telling me!
It says "waiting for review" in iTunes Connect, I just checked a minute ago.
It was rejected on December 3 at 12:51, and I resubmitted at 2:00 (EST) that same day. One hour turnaround! :p
So yeah, technically, there have only been two business days since that happened... but I'm getting pretty antsy, I want them to release it already!
