Continous 4.3 (a) Spam rejection

I built an app which is a modern twist on a game called Reversi.

My app is fundamentally different than the original game because it adds a different game dynamics (a point scoring version and a puzzle mode). Not to mention, it is free and ad-free for users.

However, my app continues to get the same boiler plate rejection from Apple. I understand Apple wants to reduce the number of similar apps and also prevent spam, however it is disappointing they take no time to read my responses or provide more information on what the issue is.

It's a disappointing experience as a developer, as all of the effort I've put into this app feels like a gamble with Apple as they don't take my submission seriously.

Also, the app reviewers have not answered any of my questions through the mail.

Unsure of how to continue. If Apple is going to reject an app merely on concept there should be a way to do that before someone spends the time finalising and polishing the game.

same here, they copy paste the same reason

Thank you for your post and appeal. We're investigating this issue and will contact you in App Store Connect to provide further assistance. If you continue to experience issues during review, please contact us.

There are several factors that may contribute to an app not following App Review Guideline 4.3. Typically, these apps share a similar binary, metadata, and overall concept as apps already on the App Store, with only minor differences.

If you have questions about App Review's review of your app, we recommend requesting an appointment with App Review during the bi-weekly Meet with Apple event. Sign in with your Developer ID and select "App Review Appointment." A member of the App Review team will help you with your questions regarding the review process and the App Review Guidelines. Appointments are subject to availability during your local business hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
