Dear developers: We've fixed your App Store screenshots for you
Guns be gone
Yesterday, we reported that Apple is cracking down on games that show firearms in their App Store screenshots, icons, and preview videos.
Developer War Chest, for example, chose to pixelate the weapons in the screenshots for its QTE action game Tempo to skirt the Apple ban.
But we reckon we can do better than that. Below, we've carefully hidden the guns in the screenshots for five iOS shooters in such a subtle way that you won't even realise they're gone!
Before: Hands up!
After: Surf's up!
Before: Say hello to my little friend!
After: Honey, I'm home! Honey? Oh no! Now I must start a slow-motion quest for revenge
Before: Time to die, terrorist scum
After: These baguettes are to die for!
Before: Your move, punk
After: Does anyone know how to play this damn thing?
Before: Bring it on, you Nazi butt heads!
After: Listen here, Adolf. If you want to invade our country you better learn how to pogo.
