Updated on April 24th, at 7:47: If you live outside of the US, you may be wondering where the heck this game is.
We got in touch with Disney who told us that "the game hasn't launched in EMEA [Europe, the Middle East, and Africa] yet." However, "there are plans for it in the future."
We'll let you know when it turns up

Welcome to PocketGamer.biz's weekly rundown of the past 168 hours in the gaming industry.
A lot can happen in a given week, and it's natural for some stories to slip past the most eagle-eyed among us. Luckily for you, we’re here - as ever - to present the stories that we feel made the biggest impact over the past seven days.
If you’re looking for a quick snapshot of the major trends and news in ...
For the second week in a row, Pocket Gamer reviewer Harry Slater joins me behind the mic to talk about all things mobile.
With Silent Hill: Origins and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories coming to Vita, we delve into the history of everyone's least favourite holiday destination.
Hitman GO and Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft are at the top of the new releases pile, supported by endless-roller Un...
Last year, Disney took its ultra popular Where's My Water franchise to China, with a new version starring cartoon sheep and Chinese TV favourite, XiYangYang.
Now, the game is available worldwide in the form of Where's My Water? Featuring XYY.
The game uses the exact same formula as all the Where's My games, so you can expect to dig through dirt and solve puzzles to re-route water to XiYangYa...
Rovio has finally launched its Silver Award-winning physics-puzzler Bad Piggies onto Windows Phone.
Unlike in all of those Angry Birds games, though, you assemble vehicles out of limited parts here to transport your pig to the finish line.
Bad Piggies is still a physics-puzzler, sure. And, yes, you'll still be cursing the very nature of gravity in each level. Life is just, well, a bit sl...
HeroCraft is in the process of porting its Silver Award-winning iOS fantasy strategy game King of Dragon Pass to Android, Windows Phone, and Vita.
HeroCraft made the announcement on the game's Twitter account, where the studio also revealed that the game should go live on those platforms in Q2 2014.
King of Dragon Pass started life as a PC game in 1999. It then came to iOS in 2011. It combin...
Gameloft has let the release date of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 loose from its web at long last.
It will be coming to iOS, Android, and Windows Phone this week, so expect to be able to pick it up this on Thursday, April 17th.
This is the open-world sequel to Gameloft's first, Silver Award-winning mobile game adaptation of Marvel's arachnid-like superhero.
You'll be able to combo-hit all th...
This week, podcast regular Peter and I are joined by Pocket Gamer's reviewer extraordinaire Harry Slater to review the latest mobile gaming news.
During the show, we discuss the latest TV-inspired tap-fest Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff, and debate the effectiveness of comedy in gaming.
Also, we reveal the number of Threes! clones that appear on the App Store every day. Spoiler: it's more t...
Fans of mobile strategy rejoice! Age of Empires is returning to pockets this summer with the release of Age of Empires: World Domination.
This time around the game has been built from the ground up for phones and tablets, and apparently features a control system that's both simple and intuitive. Hopefully that means there won't be a mass of buttons crowding the screen.
From the first tra...
Review: Dead End
Added: 11.04.2014 10:00 | 10 views | 0 comments
Dead End is a bloody action racer where OutRun-esque drifting and dodging meets a gritty Death Proof style. Oh, and zombies.
After choosing tilt or touch controls, you'll take to the road to splatter zombie goo all over the road and smear blood all over your windshield. Turns out that's a way to make a living.
Cash is earned by smashing into zombies and earning chain multipliers. There's an ...
After the enormous success of our first PG Connects event in London back in January, Steel Media is excited to be hosting its next global mobile games conference in Finland's capital.
Yes, Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki will be held right in the centre of Helsinki on June 16th and 17th, with the focus being on providing all of our attendees with advice, insight, and some fantastic networking op...
The biggest April fool this week was anyone who thought the Android microconsole market was over and done with.
After months of speculation, US-based retailer Amazon finally entered the battle for the living room gaming space with its Amazon Fire TV box.
Consumer reaction to the $99 multimedia device remains to be seen, but what interested us the most was the fact that it has a capable Andro...
This week, Peter, Keith, and I learn that Amazon has ended the console race in a single press release by announcing Ouya-esque Android micro-console thingy the Amazon Fire TV.
Then, we read the press release a little closer and discovered that Amazon's new streaming media box is mostly for watching movies and Breaking Bad and that.
Our worlds realigned, we take a look at the week's strongest...
Microsoft Studios's Gold Award-winning shooter Halo: Spartan Assault is currently on sale for £1.49 and £1.39 on Windows Phone and Windows 8, respectively.
Set between Halo 3 and 4, Spartan Assault sees you enlist as a Spartan soldier and do strategic battle in gorgeous environments inspired by the seminal series.
At review, we said: "Bright and a little bit brilliant. If you own a device th...
Dead End combines old-school arcade racing games with the splatter of grindhouse movies. Oh, and with some dirty red-and-white art.
The idea here is that you drive along a long stretch of road, running over zombies for cash, and avoiding holes and spike traps.
There's a problem, though: by splatting zombies with your car, their guts are smeared all over your windscreen.
Given that fact an...
To be perfectly blunt, we expected this week to be something of a snooze.
It's late March and, given it's the week after GDC, we figured everyone in the industry would either be nursing their hangovers from the convention or furiously sending follow-up emails to contacts made over late night drinks and discussions.
Then Facebook dropped a bombshell on the industry by announcing its proposed ...
We've got some news. You may have heard rumblings in the press, but we want to put the rumours to bed once and for all.
Yes, Facebook has acquired the Pocket Gamer Podcast for $222 billion.
Firstly, we want to assure the loyal listeners that have helped to make this podcast a thriving audio institution that nothing is going to change.
Secondly, Peter, Keith, and I will be out of commissio...
Star Wars!
Wars in the stars! Wars between the stars? Come to think of it, it's a really bad title.
And now George Lucas has sold the franchise to Disney, he can't go back and change it. That was a joke.
Anyway, there's a new Star Wars strategic card battling game out. It's called Star Wars: Assault Team, and it sees you building a team of plucky characters from the Star Wars universe and...
