    Yeah... It doesnt. I will try on my wife's iphone5 later coz that's on ios9.

    EDIT: Well crap... Doesnt download on my wife's ios9 ip5 either, which leaves either the itunes account or the account location (PH appstore) preventing the download.

    No, I'm on iOS 9.1, and it doesn't download. But maybe we need the newest devices.

    Or perhaps it's a just SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION #!

    Either the devs are ok with the lost opportunity for more income, or they start figuring out what's going on. Anyways, i hope this gets sorted out. Pretty bummed i cant play this.

    It cannot be because of location because I'm in the USA. Others in the USA have downloaded it.

    Devs Apple really needs to figure this out. You are losing a ton of money. I can search for the game now. I can find it via search. I still cannot download it. It's the same downloading issue.

    I really really wanted to play this game.

    I'm using an iPhone 5s running iOS 8.4.1

    Very stylish game!

    I just downloaded the game and I'm already hooked. I like the fact the controls are easy and the timing somehow relates to the tempo of the 80s beat which I think is really clever. :)

    I was able to download it straight away. I love the aesthetics and the music, but damn is it hard. One mistake and it's back to the beginning of the level.

    Yeah, we're big Dark Souls fans :) It gets easier with practice.

    This download problem is really unfortunate. As LordShad0wz said, we're losing money. The days of launch are the most important in a game's life cycle. We're working on finding a solution.

    Gwarmaxx, thank you for the info on Block Monster. I'll try contacting them to see if they know more about the problem.

    Thank you all for great feedback and support!

    Absolutely love the style of this game. I have a soft spot for all things 80's and this game is just oozing with 80's style.

    On a side note, to anyone else who's managed to successfully download the game, do you find the music and track obstacles a fraction out of sync in level 2? Even right at the beginning of the stage, if you move 'exactly' to the beat, it almost always results in a crash.

    Spanish App Store, same issue here :( we had an issue with Movistar, one of the Spanish internet providers, one week prior to the iOS 9 release. Connections to the App Store and Apple servers were terribly slow then (4kb/sec maximum). After many complaints, they admitted it was a DNS redirection issue on their side related to a problem there had been in a London server and solved it. Maybe Apple is reconfiguring some of their servers' DNS and the internet providers have to change something and they haven't... Who knows. The only thing for sure is that the game can't be downloaded.

    At this point I'd be willing to meet virtualfreakboy in an alley, buy the game on a thumb drive, and side load it into my iPhone. Hehehe

    It's fixed! It's installing now! Go get it people. The other games are installing as well. It was definitely on apples end!

    Mission is a go! Level one I made 34% on first try hehe. I'm going to like this game for sure. I really love the art style. On screen taps are very responsive. Love the music.

    Oooooo I hit 50% what a change up. Wow. I'm sold. Purchasing no ads and all the levels. Absolutely awesome. I did not expect that change up.

    Love the chase cam part, totally hate the topview part. Will keep playing, see if the topview sequences will click.

    Since there is significant delay to the car's movement from the time you tap, the topview means you cant rely on the usual hand-eye coordination as you need to be tap while still right beside the tip of the obstacles. Really puts me off timing.

    Can't download this from the Danish App Store, no matter how much I try (about 20 times in the last few day by now, but who is counting). :(
