Well im almost certain it wasnt for the graphics or characters in the game. I hired a graphics designer to completely create the graphics. Im almost CERTAIN it was copyright issues with the title of the game. I believe i should be fine, as long as i change the title. Im also thinking about not publishing the app on the market again period. What do you guys thing? Just to be safe..I really wanna place it on the market since i worked hard on it.
