Monkube seems to have disappeared from everywhere: their web page doesn't load, they're not in the app store. Does anyone know what's happening?

First time i've heard of this game, and im impressed by the impressions and reviews for it so i went to look but couldnt find the app by either company name or app title.

Weird, I was able to update it in iTunes. I don't have it on my phone, so I'm not sure if the update broke things, but I do have a version dated 5/4

I don't know, but hopefully the dev will read these posts and clear it out for us. I was really excited when I read "6th Planet II", but I'm beginning to get worried that this is another case similar to the one of "Flatspace" (a game with great potential which finally disappeared without glory).

I can't seem to find it in the UK App Store anywhere?

It's been a while since he last tweeted, but here's the Twitter account of one of the developers. Maybe we should send him something?

A fruit basket!

Good news! This is what the devs have to say:

"This is what happened: we submitted an update, but when it went live we
noticed some technical issues. We immediately pulled the app from the
App Store to fix this. The good news is that we already fixed everything
and are back in the approval process. It shouldn't take long, so you can
expect the update in a couple of days."

Hi everyone,

Thanks VirtualBoyFreak for spreading the news. It should be a matter of days before the update goes live, this time without technical issues.

Just to clarify what you can expect for this update:

- In the Store, we've put the "Faster ship" option on default and free to toggle on or off. We've noticed this changes the game in a positive way. Some people loved the slow vibe, but more of them liked the faster, action packed gameplay. It's still a chilled out game, but a lot more dynamic. So be sure to check it out and tell us if you like the faster ship better than the old one.

- Rotating screen: iPod Touch users complained that the headphone jack made the game difficult to control. Fixed that.

- Level tweaks, facebook link to our page (if you want to know what we have in store for the coming months, you're welcome to follow us).

- Last but not least, we've added a new IAP (1$) which is a 10 special levels pack with the prologue to 6th Planet II at the end. Hope you like where the story is going!

When the update goes live, we're always interested in your feedback. Thanks for the support.

Getting back into this again, and thanks for taking the OF logo off the icon — looks much better now
