App Rejected (4.3.0 Design Spam)

I don't have any other games on the app store, so no duplicate bundle IDs. All the code was written by myself.

I developed a game where you play as as 1 of 4 Healing classes healing a party of 4 adventurers, with a big talent tree system where you can learn additional healing skills. Various boss fights that test your builds in various ways.

I don't feel this design area is saturated, there aren't many games where you play a healer rather than a damage dealer.

I've been working on and off on this game for 4 years, it's not a clone app or anything like that.

I'm not sure how to proceed, because they didn't elaborate on exactly what rule I am violating.

Thank you for your post. If you disagree with the outcome of the review, we recommend submitting an appeal to the App Review Board. When filing your appeal, make sure to:

  • Provide specific reasons why you believe your app complies with the App Review Guidelines.
  • Submit only one appeal per rejection.
  • Respond to any requests for additional information before submitting an appeal.

Once you have submitted the appeal we can escalate it to the App Review Board for review. The App Review Board will contact you directly as soon as they've completed their investigation.

Thank you, I will submit an appeal. Btw, when I replied to the App Review message to ask for anything specific, I got a completely generic response that doesn't reference anything:

"Thank you for your response. We encourage you to consider ways to make your app stand out.

We understand that it can be difficult to determine what the best experience is to offer your users.

While there isn't one set answer that works for every app, the following development videos offer great information for helping understand how your app can provide a great user experience:
