I published (set to "public") our game on itch.io a few hours ago, but it is still not showing up in search or "most recent", despite many more recent games popping up.

Game link is: https://dashingstrike.itch.io/splody - the link works publicly, there are files for purchase & download (uploaded via butler), but it's not showing up when browsing games.  Shortly after publishing, I received an email saying it was published and that everything looked good, but it's still not showing up.

What could be wrong?  I apologize if I missed something, this is my first release on itch.io.

You are charging for your game. It needs to be manually reviewed by an admin before it is added to the various game sections and shows up in searches.

If you look in this thread over here.... https://itch.io/t/363854/my-game-3-geeks-doesnt-seem-to-show-up-in-the-site

You will see a moderator commented "Your game has a price label attached, so it has to be seen by an admin before it appears in searches.
