Rejected for Guideline 4.3a - Spam

Hello, I am a solo indie game developer with more than 20 years of experience. I have been publishing games on App Store more than 10 years.

My recent game "PinPoint Master" has been rejected under Guideline 4.3 for Spam. I believe this is a huge mistake because the concept, gameplay and game code is unique. There is not even a similar game on the App Store. I realized there are many complaints about this 4.3 Spam rejection. There many developers are getting rejected for spam in recent days. This indicates a possible flaw in the review system.

I submitted appeal two times but no response. I was about to close a publisher deal for this game. They have been testing two weeks and decided to sign after App Store release. But his issue caused a big loss for me.

Here is the YouTube video of the game:

I really need this error fixed ASAP. Thanks.
