Tickle Stones used to be a simple iPhone app that allowed you to rub famous stone statues/monuments and make them laugh. It has since been deleted from the Apple store without a trace, but what unnerves me is how little information I'm able to unearth about it. There's no video footage of it, no mentions of it aside from a couple of throwaway reviews, and that's about it.

Long shot but have you already checked through the purchases of all your apple accounts? I remember having some lost media similar to this and being able to find it on an old apple account, just unable to download on a 64 bit device.
If they are there but you just can’t download them, buy a cheap old iPad or iPhone that supports 32 bit apps off eBay. You can just download them on there
If you can’t find the account you originally downloaded it on, then this will be much more difficult. I would just try to find someone else who downloaded it and having them download it.

Hey alextcy, I created Tickle Stones just as a test project. I had developed a small promotional game (Food Fight) for a client and had to learn how to make an iPhone game to do it, so once I got the hang of it, I made a few more just for fun (Nesen Probe was another). There was an iPhone update that required some changes that I didn't have time or resources to do, so it just dropped off the stare as incompatible.

Tickle Stones was a lot of fun to make, but not many people got it. You're about the only person that's mentioned it.
