A game that purportedly rewarded players for killing Aboriginal people in the Australian outback has been removed from the App Store and Google Play.

Survival Island 3 - Australia Story 3D, a mobile game by NIL Entertainment, apparently gives players health and weapons in exchange for killing Aboriginal people, and as such a petition against it drew more than 70,000 signatures.

"By shooting 'dangerous Aboriginals', this app makes us inhuman, it reinforces racial violence, lack of punishment for white people taking black lives, it makes fun and sport of massacres and Frontier violence," said Ms Georgia Mantle, the woman who started the petition.

"The profiting of historical genocide and introducing these genocides as entertainment completely disregards the continual suffering of our people."
