Transferring saved game data iPhone to iPad

I browsed around to see if this has been asked, but a lot of the threads were older and didn't pertain to my devices.

I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2 both not jail-broken. I had a game called My Town 2 on both that I could use back and forth whenever I wanted to, and it let me play the exact same game without starting a new one on the other. Which was nice to do when I was out and about, since my iPad only connects with a wifi connection.

Yesterday I idiotically deleted the game from the iPad, and when I went to re-install it, it started from scratch, I do however still have the same game and my progress on the iPhone.

I checked around to find ways to transfer the game and its data from the iPhone to iPad. So far iExplorer didn't work, ifunbox seems easier to navigate but I don't know what to look for or where to save it. Phone Disk needs to be purchased and iTunes requires you to restore. There's got to be a way right?

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1

If the game was syncing your progress between devices, it should continue to do so once you have the game properly installed and registered on your iPad again. You might need to "log in" or otherwise let the game's server know that it's you and your account on that device.

You might care to contact the developer of the game for advice. I doubt your the first one of their customers to encounter this issue.

Hi John, funny thing is I can see stats and progress for my old game in Game Center through the iPad, so what I tried to do is, just click on "Play Now" to see if it would take me to my old game and it brought me back to the new one.

I'm wondering if I uninstall it again and then go to game center and click on "Play Now" it will prompt me to download it again and then have my old game back?
