sherbetCatamount Software have release Prohibtion 3: Candy Wars on the App Store. Originally sub titled Dope Wars, the game was rejected by Apple because of unsuitable content. Catamounts founder Hardy Macia says, “Apple’s rejection of DopeWars was frustrating because we thought we had a big hit on our hands. We decided to rename it, gave the police and player pixie dust instead of guns. changed ‘Cocaine’ to ‘Sugar Sticks’, ‘Weed’ to ‘Brownies’, ‘Crystal Meth’ to ‘Rock Candy’… It was like adding another level of realism to DopeWars by using street names for drugs, but at the same time highlighting the problems of prohibition no matter what (when) the government tries to prohibit whether it is alcohol (past), drugs (present), or candy (future).”

Macia continued, “We still hope that Apple reconsiders their ban on Prohibition 2: The Dope Wars so we can bring many people’s favorite game to the iPhone, but in the meantime all of us chocolate addicts can enjoy Candy Wars.”

Candy Wars is available now for $0.99
