    Hi,

    I released my game OddBalls in the App Store a month ago. My sales have slowly bottomed-out at zero and so I made an update with a few cosmetic changes, a nicer app icon and also updated the keywords/description hoping I might get another small bump in sales.

    When my game was first released it was displayed in the App Store "New Release" list of games > puzzles, which gave it some decent discoverability. It has slowly moved down that list as newer games were released and it's now no longer on the list. However, I notice that many of the games near the top of this list have had an update and have re-appeared on the list because of that update (I think). They were originally released weeks ago, but because of a new update they have been bumped back up in the list (at least that's what it seems like to me).

    However, when I released my update I did not re-appear in the New list. Does anyone know how that works? How come some games seem to be able to re-appear in this list, what are they doing to achieve that?

    Thanks
