GameJolt has not only removed all of our games from their Featured Tab, but have completely altered the way Rat Race appears in the algorithm (manually removing us from the best page).
They have given us absolutely no information about the situation, and tried to do this completely under the radar. All evidence points towards this being related to our criticism of their new "boosting" feature; a useless addition to the site that promotes people who have money to burn, rather than the passionate artists who have been making free games for the past decade.
Supposedly other creators are experiencing something similar.
We are working on a proper response video that goes into much greater detail about GameJolts questionable behavior as of late, stay tuned.
Until then, you can keep up with us on other platforms until GameJolt decides to nuke our account entirely.

We are still looking for Rat Race's new home.
Thank you @gamejolt 
, for treating some of your longest users with such care and dignity. This truly is INDIE.
