Why isn’t there a category for simple “Relaxing” games in the Apple app store?

Let’s just think about it, there are tons of game categories in the app store - action, education games and even music. But there is no place where developers could upload something easygoing and relaxing gam. And that is a problem. Just remember the flappy bird thing, people were getting mad from playing it and there were no other games that could calm them down.

We realized that when we tried to upload our game RUB! to the app store. First five times we were declined by Apple censors, because the game was too simple for Apple standards. But it was simple on purpose. The whole concept was just to rub the screen for points. But because there was no “games for chillin’ and relaxing” category we had to make it less simple and not as cool as we had in mind.

We believe that perhaps there should be a place in the app store where some “simple” nice games would find there place. We truly believe that games should not make you mad, but instead should make you smile and forget for a second all your problems. That is why we are asking Apple to add “games for chillin’ or relaxing” category to the app store.

This is our app that we are talking about: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/rub/id697927329?mt=8
