I'm pretty sure this is illegal by App Store's terms and conditions? Even if it isn't, kind of a horrible way to go about things - how about just make your game better if you want positive reviews?

I actually found something in the Apple Developer's Terms and Conditions (App Store Review Guidelines, Section 3.2.2, Part vi):
"Apps should allow a user to get what they've paid for without performing additional tasks, such as posting on social media, uploading contacts, checking in to the app a certain number of times, etc. Apps should not require users to rate the app, review the app, watch videos, download other apps, tap on advertisements, or take other similar actions in order to access functionality, content, use the app, or receive monetary or other compensation. "
I will only cite this. I won't say whether or not Graal actually broke the rules, because I wouldn't want my interpretation to be taken the wrong way.
About the contest overall... I think it's really dumb, considering the fact that the update was pretty small compared to updating the entire map, for example. It's also insane how the rating on the App Store for GraalOnline Classic+ moved from 3.5 stars to 4.5 stars in a day (I'd show pics if I had any from the time when it was 3.5 stars).
Edit: For anyone who wants to read the App Store Review Guidelines (especially Section 3), here's the link: https://developer.apple.com/app-stor...ew/guidelines/
