Just some thoughts.

Hahaha... BRILLIANT!!!

Admittedly this whole thing is a bit of an in-joke for developers. Or quasi-political commentary on the App Phone developer ecosystem. But mostly just fun for fun sake.

This game is seriously hilarious. It's all about the developers cowering in fear and falling off the stage when Steve throws down another device. You should make a video to show that.

I'm betting there's about a 0% chance of it getting accepted on the App Store, though

This would mean Apple doesn't have a sense of humor! And we know that's not the case... you've seen the app rating system haven't you!?

A working assumption of the "tiny dev" is that, if nothing else, dev'ing is a path towards becoming an indivisible entity; the proverbial bedroom or garage coder is as singular as need be to suit the occasion. Good luck reducing him or her below that nominal, self-assigned unit value. Even if there is only one sale of a given app on a given day, that unit may sustain a family in some countries, or dominate with a swagger as currency in some virtual world previously "inhabited" by said developer. Someone, somewhere is playing his\her game without being paid to do - at least that's a foot in the right direction. Remember the first time everyone else was moving the pieces correctly while you were pushing them along questionable lines? Draw the the shades, look out - same app, different day. There's the sense.
