Default Mac App Store Screen Requirements?

Sorry if this has been already discussed, but I noticed that many apps in the Mac App store are varying in size. Some are full screen, but PacMan is a much smaller screen.

Is there a screen size requirement for submission to the Mac App store?

It's probably in the HIG HIG on Apple Developer Site

my 2 cents: your app can be of almost any size, specially if it's a game, otherwise read the HIG MarkC pointed out. The screenshots you submit to iTC, should be 1280x800, if your app is smaller than that, just fill the empty space with whatever you like, could be the desktop image..

Makes sense, so basically if the app is smaller, just fill in the screen space with an image of some sort? Wonder how many are porting over games from the iPad to Mac App store since the size difference is not far off.

I'm exactly in that position
