Thanks for your reply!

That's what I thought, but some people are actually able to download it. There are already two reviews from different countries.

I just downloaded with no problem from the US AppStore.

Thank you for downloading it!
It is great to hear that it works at least for some users.

it seems that there is a problem with AppStore that some people get "application is no longer available" message. Yet others download it just fine.

The problem seems to affect several newly released games. If you encounter the problem, please post a report in this thread.

it seems that after all my emails Apple has solved the problem - at least one person who was not able to download the game has just purchased and installed it.

however they have not acknowledged there ever was a problem.

Well I just gave it a spin and think it's a decent little game, push the dice up one of the 5 co0lumns in hopes of getting 4 of a kind or a straight of 4 dice (although they must be in sequence, lining up 3-2-1-4 won't cut it). The only additional basic rules, you can't place a matching number under itself (no placing a 6 right under another 6) nor can you place additional dice in a full column of 6 dice.

If you manage to make a string you'll score some points and those dice will be removed from the board. The key to big points, however, is to arrange things so that multiple strings are made in a single move as the points you score after a successful move go up progressively with each additional string made that move.

I've mainly just played the Classic mode and have yet to break 500. You need 1,000 just to reach the bottom of their default scoreboard so this game definitely can be frustrating at first.

One whine, I don't think the two modes should share a single scoreboard, although, to be honest, I have no idea which of the two modes leaves itself more susceptible to break away highscores.
4/5

LordGek, thank you for your review! I am glad you enjoyed it!

Pretty sweet, great casual puzzler, graphics are great, and control is pretty straight forward and easy.

It's pretty easy to make a single string, but it took me couple of plays to get to a system of creating combos, which can be really big once you get the hand of it.

I agree with cableshaft, this game could use some power-ups, something to make the gameplay more dynamic.

Anyway, i really like it so far, hope to see updates with more features soon.
