It was free, so I downloaded it. I don't think giving away 20 million copies for free calls for a huge celebration.

I wonder how many millions also deleted from their devices cuz this game sucks balls. Way to ruin a great game.

So maybe they can get on fixing the horrible, horrible lag. Half the time, I can't do the first jump because the lag is so bad it ignores my jump swipes. Rarely have I died due to my own fault. Once this is fixed, I shall be happy with the game.

You must be on an old-gen iPhone or iPod. I'm on the new iPod and it runs perfectly. The speed of the running is also really fast compared to iPod 4th gen.(yes I tested it)
