Not that I've been waiting a long time or anything, I submitted my first game last night around midnight my time... I'm just curious how long it typically takes to get a game approved.
What's your best and worst wait times?

About 24-36 hours has been my average.
That's not bad at all. I'm sure they get quite a few every day, so that's an admirable turn around time.
I waited 2 weeks for one of my games to get verified at Download.com (upload.com).
For me it's been from 5 hours to around that 36 hour mark. Though I usually activate the distribution a bit later (first approval only for ads, later second approval for distribution). Note that if you are using MochiCoins, you will probably need to wait considerably longer for approval.
If you're looking to get your game sponsored then I would discourage using Mochi Coins anyways. Most sponsors actively avoid any games with Mochi Coins in.
That's an interesting point. This game (my first upload) isn't something that I would expect to try to get sponsorship for, nor does it use MochiCoins... but I will keep that in mind down the road when the good stuff starts to get finished!Quote:

My Mochi approval time is usually around 5-8 hours, but one time, and only once, it was around 36 hours.
Nice!
24-48 hours is the longest i waited.
Looks like i've been unlucky! Or perhaps it's because I do this on a Friday or weekend?
Perhaps. Ive done it just about every day of the week...and one time it was around 2 hours! :D The only time it was slow because I created the game and turned ads and such off, then reactivated it, or something weird, so it probably went through differently. I forget the specifics.
Ah, I know why mine isn't approved yet! They started playing it, and they are so addicted that they can't stop playing long enough to do their jobs! LOL!
...aaaandd it was a weekend.Quote:
