Hello, my game Pet Fortress disappeared for the keyword “fortress” as well as “pet”, and no longer shows up for “pet fortress” without the quotes Pet Fortress - dev testing - Roblox (it used to be the #1 result for “Pet Fortress” w/o quotes)

I’ve had the same issue with this but with my models, hopefully they’re able to fix that as well. But I’m glad they’re able to fix the shadow ban on games now.
