Just in case this wasn't clear, your game is still publicly accessible by URL, and you can send people to that page directly to buy the game with no issues. The review delay only prevents games from showing up on our feed and browse pages.
Viewing post in Why my game didn't show up on the page ?
How long does the review process take, I put up my first paid asset the other day and it's on a release sale but it doesn't show up when browsing on sale assets, or directly searching for it. I understand why, but I hope it becomes visible soon. Also, any advice on things I could do to get it featured? ;) Thank you in advance just for reading this.
P.S. Already read this thread https://itch.io/t/34063/how-can-you-get-featured-on-the-home-page
EDIT : Here's the link to the asset I'm referring to https://t-allen-studios.itch.io/low-poly-car-american-muscle-01
It's up now! Thanks!
