Can't download from iTunes anymore. Something about it not being available in the US. Is there another way of getting it? Anyone know what's going on? I had the same problem as Bruce.

I recently published a new game for iPhone called Anytime Golf. It's absolutely nothing like Vector Blaster. If you like Vector Blaster... then... I can't say whether or not you will like Anytime Golf. In fact, there's really no similarity between the games at all so I'm surprised I'm even writing this. But I can say this: If you hated Vector Blaster you should try Anytime Golf, because I don't believe hating one game precludes you from hating the other. You can hate both games. (What am I trying to say?) Anytime Golf. Same guy that made Vector Blaster. Just wanted to do a quick update.. I recently published a new game for iPhone called Anytime Golf.

Only thing I'm not clear on: Can you play your music in the background while playing this game? I can see that the 1.1 version allows toggling the game's music on/off, but not sure if that means you can still listen to your iTouch's playlist.
