Also direct search is not working anymore, my game got delisted? But i still can see it among popular games page. 

Update: Alrigth i found out that some guy also have a game that called "In these caves", i can find my game if i type In These Caves: Demo (thats full name of my game), but i still dont understand why search doesnt show it with simple "in these caves" and also why it got delisted from Fresh

Here is a screenshot of my screen recording from yesterday, where you can see that my game was in the Fresh category

No, your game is still indexed, but games don't stay at the top of any listing for too long. And game search is optimized for full title searches. Hope this helps.

I understand, but it didn't go down in the rankings it disappeared from the FRESH tab altogether. You can click on recently added and it's not there.

This is most recent added fresh games, my game was added after Indiepocalypse bundle, and now its not there

I am not talking about recent games, i am talking about FRESH category that is on main page

That section might be curated by our admins, I'm not sure. Or else it uses a more complicated algorithm. Edit: either way, games on the front page are definitely rotated often, even more so that in other sections, and that's on purpose, because space is so limited.

Okay, thank you for your answers.

The Fresh list is curated from specific superuser collections.  One of my games was listed as Fresh for a few months before being removed, so I assume they remove older entries after a while.  Or they just decided that mine wasn't that good after all.

heh, mine was there for 3 days)

I just didn't know that games are removed from the Fresh, I thought they were there forever just go down over time, too bad that's not the case
