Windows Phone 7.5 game launching

Hi everyone!

I`m working on developing a game for the new windows phone 7.5 phones like Nokia Lumia 710 or 800 (I`we just won a Lumia 710 at a programming contest organized by MS

), but I have no idea how to advertise it.

I`we already created a very simple game, I`we created it for testing the marketplace, but in 1-2 days it was out of the New Games list and I`we did not get at least one vote (only I have voted myself...) so I`m very disappointed...
It`s true that the "test" game is not a big deal, but now I`m working on much more advanced game with some cool graphics and fun game-play and I`m afraid that it will be in the same situation as my test game...
The game that I`we made for testing purpose can be found here:

The game that I`m working on will be a tower defense game, it will be a nice, addicting game with high quality graphics. Like in any tower defense games there will be some towers (funny looking soldiers) shooting the enemy waves (friendly looking fruits). I`m creating it with fruits and funny looking soldiers because I think this way it could reach a wider audience than a game where you kill zombies or aliens....

My single idea that could help is to create a flash version of the game and inside the flash game point out that it has a windows phone version, too...
But this idea need a lot of addition work and I do not know where could I get the flash game posted and if it worth the additional work....

I have no idea about game marketing, and I really afraid that my game will be lost after exiting the new games list, and all my work will be for nothing...

Thanks for any help!
