The game requires at least Android 2.3, "Gingerbread" or better. What kind of device and version of Android are you using?

HTC wildfire 2.2

Just a tad annoying it went through all that before telling me to sod off.:p

Sorry about that :(. Usually, in the Play Store the game is only made "visible" to people who have the minimum OS, so we aren't really used to checking for it ourselves.

We will add that startup-check to all versions, just in case people side-load it on older devices, so at least people will know right away.

Anarchodinosaur, if your phone's manufacturer/carrier doesn't have a 2.3 update available, and you're feeling adventurous, consider installing a modded ROM. Just be sure to do your homework and read up on how it works first.

Once you do that you're on your own as far as support and warranties, but that's sort of the way it is for older phones anyway.

Actually, I just double-checked the specs for that device, and I really doubt it would be able to handle this game, even with an OS upgrade. :(
