Hello,
I’m a first-time publisher and my snap “numcrunch-academy” (revision 1) was flagged as potentially malicious and made private. I believe this is a false positive and would appreciate a reviewer taking another look.
Snap details:
- Name: numcrunch-academy
- Summary: Math puzzle game — solve problems, dodge the dinosaur, avoid bombs!
- Version: 2.0
- Dashboard: OpenID transaction in progress
About the application: NumCrunch Academy is an open-source educational math game built with Python and Pygame, inspired by the classic Number Munchers. Players navigate a grid, solve math problems (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division), and avoid a dinosaur enemy. Features include 3 stages with increasing difficulty, visible bombs, confetti effects, screen shake, and a skull death animation.
Evidence this is legitimate:
- Full source code publicly available on GitHub: GitHub - moderatedan/NumCrunch-Academy: A math game I made for my son - just like Number Munchers helped me learn primes and multiplication tables, but with cooler characters and a dinosaur bad guy to make it more intense. Free and open-source, with a future Android version that will have one small ad (or just $1 for no ads). · GitHub
- MIT licensed
- Completely offline — no networking, no data collection, no telemetry
- The game runs locally and has been tested on multiple systems
- I’ve already added an audio fallback (try/except around pygame.mixer.init()) so it doesn’t crash in sandboxed environments
What I’ve done so far:
- Emailed help@snapcraft.io with details
- Ensured all metadata (license, contact, source-code) is filled in snapcraft.yaml
- The snap builds cleanly (only harmless library unused warnings)
Could a reviewer please take another look? I’m happy to provide any additional information or make changes if something specific triggered the flag.
