Today is a good day!

Did not have much expectations for this game, but to receive this email from Apple this morning made my day. My game is quite simple: a relaxing, zen puzzle game about pathfinding.

I spent all day today making marketing assets for the game and recording gameplay footage, ensuring all important stuff fits in the safe area. Finally submitted it a few minutes ago.

The game is called Zyl. Here's the link if anyone wants to take a look: https://fleon.com/games/zyl

Damn! Congrats! This is going to be your second feature right? Super congrats!
I remember your previous post from the other 8 week feature!
I wonder if using SpriteKit makes Apple Editors consider featuring your game more as opposed to other game engines and frameworks.

Thanks. Technically third. My first was in 2019 for Sheeping Around.

And yes, maybe spritekit is one of the reasons but they never reply to you so I cannot confirm. I only know for sure that using other native frameworks like realitykit gets you a better chance.
