Greetings Bellabeans420,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities, it's great to have you here.


This article here has the steps you'll need to follow to re-download that game on your device of choice: Redownload apps and games from Apple - Apple Support. Our recommendation is to work through those steps, which we'll copy and paste below:


How to redownload apps on iPhone or iPad

1. Open the App Store app.
2. Tap the sign-in button  or your photo at the top of the screen.
3. Tap Purchased.
4. If you use Family Sharing, tap My Purchases or choose a family member’s name to see content that they purchased.
5. Tap "Not on this [device]."
6. Find the app that you want to download, then tap the download button .

Learn what to do if you can't redownload the app. If you can't find the app on your device, use the App Library to find the app.


If you need to restore the data associated with that game, then you may want to reach out to the developer of the game by utilizing the information here: How to contact an app developer - Apple Support


We hope this does the trick for you!


Cheers.
