Here is my first game / iPhone app. It was approved in just less than a week, but I left my Release Date at the same date I submitted it for approval. So, by the time it was actually on the AppStore it was already buried under over a 100 other games. Doh! Oh well, live and learn.

Here is what I wrote for the sales pitch...

Outwit your opponent in this fun game of strategy! Aura cleverly mixes the feeling of Chess and Checkers with a bit of finger painting to create a unique new experience!

Features
* For 1 or 2 players
* 4 difficulty settings
* Interactive training
* Unlimited UNDO
* Auto saving

I also have more screen shots and a screen capture video on my site:

Is it too late? Can you bump up the release date to today or tomorrow? Your game will disappear for a day, but wont it start at the top again?

Why did you lock out 1st generation ipod touches?

Yeah, it's too late. It took a long time for it to appear on the AppStore, and I just assumed it was taking longer to get in to where the iPhones could see it, since I never found it at the top of the new release list. By the time I found out it was just several pages down, I didn't pay close enough attention to the release dates and I came up with a theory that "maybe they start way down when they are initially released, so that you have time to get user reviews before it reaches the top of the list." But that was stupid of me. By the time I realized that mistake it had already been out for a week and I would have the exact same problem if I changed the date. At least I think so. I read on the AppStore FAQs that it is ordered by which ever comes first, the approval date or the available date.

The not including 1st generation iPods was mostly an oversight (I didn't notice it was a separate option in the list). I don't actually have one, and I didn't know how to set the simulator to be one. How do you know if it will be compatible or not?

"which ever comes first, the approval date or the available date"

right now your available date comes first, but if you bumped up the available date to today - then the approval date comes first which should move you higher, no?

Codemattic, maybe we could get something in the wiki to explain how to release a game that is ipod touch 1st gen compatible. I wouldn't want to exclude anybody when I release.

Yes, if I adjusted the available date, I suppose it would move up a little higher, but being 20 pages down verses 15 pages down just doesn't seem like enough motivation to act on it at this point. It already ranks much better than that in searches for chess and checkers.
