Did my app go semi viral for a couple days and I DIDN'T KNOW

Well every couple of days I check my iTunes connect account to see how my games are doing. I log in to see if their were any new reviews or downloads. For the past year or so I have been 100% focused on my Sway and it has really topped the chart so far reaching #293 on the app store which is quite a feat especially with all the hard work that has gone into it. BUT my other game Flop Drop that I made in about a week (over a year ago) beat out my app Sway reaching #206 and I honestly have no clue what sparked it to go so viral for a couple days. I had absolutely no idea that Flop Drop was topping the charts until last night when I logged into iTunes connect and saw my growth rate was 999%. I immediately rushed to sensor tower to see it's ranking and I almost had a heart attack when I saw such a spike. This is my highest ranked app so far and the God's honest truth is I have idea how it got this high. I never talk about Flop Drop, I haven't sent out an update for the game in months and I don't promote it. It was just one of those apps I made just to test out the market. I'm not saying the game is bad I just haven't refined it. I made that game when I had a very basic understanding of Gamesalad. My knowledge has expanded so much over the year(s). I most likely will redesign Flop Drop and send out a new update later down the summer. I was thinking maybe some big app website found the game and made a review on the game. Other than that I don't know how I could have gotten those many downloads.
I will leave you the link to Flop Drop so you can download it and see what I should improve or if you can give better pointers. I do know I need to change it from stretch to overscan and have better graphics but see if you like the concept of the game!
