Does it sometimes take a few weeks?

Fingers crossed time i guess.

    It's normally on Tuesday in the US, but you can change you iTunes to Australia in the early afternoon and see what's up there.

    It's usually on Monday at midnight, PST, in the US.

    Yes, it can take several weeks. Danger Cats!, my first game, was featured 4 weeks after it went up. Stunt Squirrels!, my second game, was featured after 1 week.

    Good luck to you!

    do you find being featured really helps sales?

    My sales went from 1-5 a day to 525 a day. They have since fallen back down to 25-50 sales a day for each game.

    Getting any kind of visibility is critical. I don't have a marketing budget, so this was essential to me getting any sales at all.

    There are SO many games in the App Store right now. 18,000+ ? And another 100-200 get released each week.

    It is VERY tough to climb up from of the bottom!

    The iPhone/Touch App Store only shows the top 100 of each category (4 pages of 25)...
    If you are not on the device, it is very hard to get noticed. People can always specifically find your app by searching for it, but people generally just scroll through the lists.
