Title says it all.

Ah, no, one more thing to add...it is the FREE app of the day for today!

You also need to be on wifi to download it. It will not download over 3g/4g connection.

Downloaded it, it is great, but like mentioned above you need to be on wi-fi to download....it is a huge file.

why not on 4g? supposed to be the fastest network out there. I get faster spped on 4g than on wifi

what is the point of having a fast data connection?

It is a huge file, sure they don't want to bog down the network since it is the FREE APP of the day....Wi-Fi equals open 4G network....just my guess.

The file is roughly 48.6MB in size. They feel that's "to much to download" over the cellular network. Funny considering majority of us have "unlimited (see 5GB) data" on our plans.

I've been waiting for this day.... game play is smooth... no issues so far.

It downloaded over 4G but it was slow go.. literally took 30 minutes. I believe the file size is closer to 75 mb but I was able to move it to my SD card.

noob question - does it need to be moved to the SD card? It is running fine for me as is. ?

No, but I think a lot of people will end up moving it to save room for the apps which can't be moved.

How did you download it over 4g? I tried it and it wouldn't let me.

 

[project.in.process]

ha, downloaded wifi
app size on phone=75mb
moved to sd
app size on sd card=716kb

guessing some files aren't being accounted for--or they've remained on the phone

game still runs fine when sourced from the SD card

Just got a solid 4G connection then selected download. It didn't give me any issues.. other than taking forever.

No kidding...just wasted about an hour, and I have a feeling that's just the beginning.

Yeah, on my Aria, it is 252kb. I think it moves the entire app to the SD card, just some of the data is not accounted for in 'manage applications' -- pretty much every app moved to external storage reduces in size.

Game runs pretty smooth, though it does have issues when the screen shuts off. When unlocking the phone, it sticks on the loading screen for a while, then all is fine. Also, after playing for 10 minutes, the game started to lag and slow to a stop, then my phone rebooted.

Great to see this on Android. We can't let iOS have all the zombie games.

I played for a solid hour on the Thunderbolt.

Granted, that hour ate up about 60% of my battery and the phone was quite warm to the touch...but I noticed no performance lag at all.
