Great to see it release! It requires 4.0 software update, despite not really utilizing many of the 4.0 features (perhaps the wallpaper feature is the reason?), so older iOS device owners are out of luck. Oddly, All-Star Racing can still download and play on my first gen iPod Touch, yet this simple app cannot.
That sucks. It’s a good thing I’m bout to upgrade to an iPod Touch 4.
Just downloaded the app and it’s pretty basic. The little sonic minigame is quite fun though
