My game is featured on the App Store! This is my first small achievement in game dev. Details in the comments!
Hey All!
Today I found my game featured on the App Store in "Incredible indie" in Australia and New Zeeland.
I started making games last summer and have released 3 games so far (1 game is Android only and 2 games IOS + Android).
Zombie Puzzle is my third game and took 5 months to create.
Before releasing the first two games I filled out all possible forms to be featured on Google Play and App Store but it never worked for me.
For the Zombie Puzzle game I didn't do anything in terms of requests to be featured.
On May 17 I got an email from Apple:
"Your app, Zombie Puzzle: Save the Chicks, may be featured on the App Store"
They asked to provide some artworks and pointed that there is no guarantee that my game will be featured on App Store. I've provided all needed assets and after a week of waiting I noticed an unexpected activity from users from Australia and New Zealand. After changing the store I was glad to see my game in "Incredible indie" on the main Games tab!
Btw here is a link to the game:

And android version can be found here:

In a few days I will have detailed statistics in the console and can share the results if you are interested.
Please share your experience after your games got featured in the Stores. What boost did you get in downloads?
Where are the details in the comments you mentioned? I couldn't find any. Your post has the potential to attract attention! Congratulations on making your game so popular! The only thing I noticed in the screenshot was Zombie Puzzles. I've played it several times. I've downloaded so many games to my smartphone to play while on the bus on my way to winning eleven 2012. It was a long trip from my country and well worth it. I'm a big fan of any sport. Plus, I'm always willing to participate in any sporting activity. Your game is certainly a far cry from sports, but it entertained me along the way. Thank you.
Thanks, no one was interested in results so I didn't post anything) If you are interested - I got about 200 installs from this featuring
