User Review:

They just did an update and I can now play it on my mytouch. Before the the update, it wouldn’t even load the game, it would just freeze up. It is a fun game when you want/need to kill some time.
By Duck

Was a 5 star game until the new update wiped out all accomplishments, gold balls, and items purchased. Wth. I was so close to purchasing full version.
