The game was pulled from the App Store two days later, after it was noticed by the review site KRAPPS and later picked up by other news sources and non-governmental organizations related to Shaken Baby Syndrome who were outraged, with a spokesperson from Apple stating that "this application was deeply offensive and should not have been approved for distribution on the App Store".
