Congrats sheepy! What did you write in the mail to them?
Just the basics really - I linked to a dropbox with the press release, screenshots and video and just said 'I made a game - the last one got some love on your forums, and was featured by Apple - maybe you'd like to review it?'
It was done as an afterthought really as I'd pretty much given up on ever getting noticed by TA. Thirteen games in, and I get a review! Lucky for some I guess
It seems the lovely people on their forums liked the game and made some noise about it. Which is just super, super awesome!

He sent them a picture of the chief editor dressed up as a nun from the waist upwards and naked from the waist downwards 'engaging' with a goat, along with the single line message:
I don't know/think if it'll affect sales at all, but most importantly for me is that Apple itself deems my game good enough to go toe to toe with the rest of those games.

That's the thing I love about it most - that one little sheep can make little games that are deemed good enough to be up there with the big boys - that's the most awesome thing for me!
As an aside, I really thought it was a fake at first
Thank you all for your kind words - very proud, happy and amazed and more than a little shocked!

I can't believe how lovely the forum people can be at TA - warms the heart of my sheepy cockles that people *cared* enough to encourage a review.
It's really rather wonderful!

I just found out that Air Supply - Infinite is featured by Apple in their 'Fun Runners' section on the app store:

That's quite lovely of them!

I need a cup of tea and a sit down I think!
