When we first submitted PeeMonkey Jungle Fire to the Apple iTunes app store we didn’t know what to expect. The game is cute, but the concept of a game where your goal is to pee on fire might ruffle a few feathers. To our joy Jungle Fire was accepted, and went on to do quite well!

We figured with Jungle Fire, iFart, and iSperm on the app store, there was no chance our latest game PeeMonkey Toilet Trainer would be rejected, but to our surprise it was! Here’s what we got from Apple:

Hello Exoweb Labs,

Thank you for submitting Pee Monkey Toilet Trainer to the App Store. We’ve reviewed Pee Monkey Toilet Trainer and determined that we cannot post this version of your iPhone application to the App Store because it contains objectionable content and is in violation of Section 3.3.12 from the iPhone SDK Agreement which states:

“Applications must not contain any obscene, pornographic, offensive or defamatory content or materials of any kind (text, graphics, images, photographs, etc.), or other content or materials that in Apple’s reasonable judgement may be found objectionable by iPhone or iPod touch users.”

If you believe that you can make the necessary changes so that Pee Monkey Toilet Trainer does not violate the iPhone SDK Agreement we encourage you to do so and resubmit it for review.

Regards,
iPhone Developer Program

We’re following up with Apple to see what it was in particular they were upset about.  Toilet Trainer is set in the toilet and features yellow pee, whereas Jungle Fire is set in the jungle and features blue pee.  So far, our only guess is that it was the yellow pee that made the difference, so we’re resubmitting Toilet Trainer, this time with blue pee, and crossing our fingers!
