I posted an updated version of my game Solar Blaster: Challenge Stage to the bbs last night (14 May 2021), and removed the previous version from the opening post but now the game seems to have completely vanished from Splore.
The game is on the bbs here:
https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=42595
Searching for SOLARBLASTER in Splore returns no results, and I have no idea why. Has this happened to anyone else after they have updated the version of a game in the opening post of a bbs thread? Or does Splore just take a while to update the listings when new versions are posted?
As far as I can tell I uploaded the new version of the game correctly - the cart is solarblaster-2 and should be findable by searching for solarblaster in Splore.
Also, in the bbs forum listings the thread for the game no longer has the cartridge label image as the thumbnail and the thumbnail is now the default avatar graphic. The game still has a valid cartridge label, so again I'm confused as to what has happened!

SOLAR BLASTER: CHALLENGE STAGE
The Earth is under attack from the invading alien war machine! Take control of the Solar Blaster fighter ship and strike back!
Solar Blaster: Challenge Stage is an action packed space shooter where you’ve got 2 minutes to get the high score. Destroy as many enemy waves as you can within the time limit, collect power ups like rapid fire and spread shot and cause massive destruction with your 3 super bombs.
This game is based on the 2 minute ‘caravan’ shooter format from classic PC Engine games. I wanted to create a simple, fun shooter that was easy to pick up and play and that players would want to keep coming coming back to again and again.
