Developer 22Cans and Peter Molyneux have apologised for the technical troubles that have so far plagued the launch of debut title Curiosity: What’s Inside The Cube?.

He also says that the goal remains for users to be able to log on instantly and for all block taps to be conveyed in real-time to all concurrent users.

He also suggests in the video that the announcement of the second experiment, which was due to today, has been out on hold until Curiosity has been ironed out.
Here’s the video:
