    Hi guys!

    Are there any conditions for game to appear on the "New Games" list on TA? I have dropped price of my game few hours ago, but it didn´t appear on the "New Games".

    takes time. can take more than a few hours.

    the only other exception is if you fluctuate the price quickly, it won't appear. That's to prevent people gaming the system.

    Unfortunatly, I have never seen my game Lucky Rooster in that list :confused: Maybe I published it in wrong way.

    A bit odd.. don't think I have seen it on the TA list..
    FYI, the changes have been noticed on appshopper.com
    Might be the game was not at $1.99 for a long enough time.

    Thanks, I suppose that might be a reason.

    Yep, that sort of fluctuation prevents it from getting listed for obvious reasons.
