Guess this is a no...? Or... the app has been abandoned...?

Not sure it's abandoned officially, but, functionally, yes, that appears to be the case. The last time they mentioned the game on their twitter was last July and other than some Facebook posts from January where they mentioned awards and accolades the game had gotten for 2012, no other activity related to the game after last October.

And with only a single minor bugfix update last April, I'd say it's clear this was a fire and forget project for them.

Thanks for the info.... I really need to start getting onto Twitter and FB more.

Their Facebook page like count probably explains a lot: 132.

To put that in perspective, Temple Run 2's FB has over 7.5 million likes, a mixed bag of a quasi indie casual game like MinoMonsters has nearly 17,000 likes, and Hatch, a game that isn't out and doesn't even have a soft release date, has just shy of 2000 likes.

For a game that's been out for a year now, 132 FB followers is essentially completely unknown and unrecognized by the masses. Shame, because the game did show promise and the devs were really talking it up initially, but if they're not going to follow through (looks like they mainly do ultra casual games that we don't even ever hear of on TA), they get what they get.
