The recently released Kongregate Arcade has been removed from the Android market for violating the Market Developer Distribution Agreement. The app was used to distribute apps internally, and Google was forced to remove it. Though the app was removed, there is nothing prohibiting Flash developers from making apps available on the market wrapped up in an individual APK file.
GameStop issued a statement on the matter, reading, “As reported earlier today, the Kongregate Arcade app was launched on the Android Market and was enthusiastically received by the gaming community, receiving 4.5 out of 5 stars. Tens of thousands of users successfully downloaded the new app but, due to unknown reasons, Google has pulled it from the Market. Gamers wishing to experience Kongregate Arcade will be happy to learn it is now available for download at http://kongregate.com/android.”
Kongregate updated its twitter feed, stating “working with Google to restore access in the Market.”
