Right. As pointed out in the Search & Browse FAQ, that you were twice prompted to read before being allowed to post in this category, games with a minimum price have to be seen by an admin before they're approved for the index. Normally that's just the first time, but your previous game was published over a year ago, so who knows. Also, normally that takes only a day or two, but the weekend tends to delay admin reviews, as pointed out in every forum post on this subject.

P.S. I assume you mean Do It With Hay, but when asking for help with a game you should link to it so people don't have to guess.

I already have 2 weeks since I published my last project and even so they do not appear, I get that they are published, but they do not appear

I had this too, when I first published my game I couldn't see it on the games list, even with some pretty specific filtering. But suddenly after maybe 3-4 days, I started getting a few downloads, & then I noticed it WAS on the games list, getting further & further up. It wasn't until I got a few comments on the page (or maybe a rating) that the amount of downloads really shot up - so maybe comments or downloads are counted as a positive thing for the search algorithm?
