The hit reality mobile game Pokemon Go crashed on Tuesday morning due to high demand, and Australian users weren't happy.A flood of complaints hit social media after the servers went down around 8:00am, preventing players from playing the app until roughly 2:30pm.Despite the wildly popular mobile app having only been released in the US, Australia and New Zealand, Australian players have pointed to the UK as the culprits for the outage.Players accused UK residents of clogging up the system by trying to bypass regional servers to access the game Down Under."People in the UK need to stop playing and adding to the server problems," a user posted on aussieoutages.com on Tuesday.While it's not confirmed if that is the case, the aussieoutages website was on Tuesday carrying numerous messages from frustrated users reporting server and log-in problems"Having no service for pokemon go is stressing me out," @EzmaeS said."This will be an uneventful tram ride," @TransitDork said."My pokemon go app isn't working and I'm not happy about it," @hayfarrer added. The number of reports peaked at 489 individual complaints around 9:00am on aussieoutages.com.Players attempting to log into the app were prompted with a message from developer Niantic Labs saying its servers were "experiencing issues".Pokemon Go is proving to be enormously popular since Niantic opened access on   July 6 in the US.Shares in Japan's Nintendo skyrocketed on Monday, bringing market-value gains to $10 billion in just two days.  
"Niantic Labs has actually paused their global roll-out due to overwhelming demand placed on their servers," according to business news group Forbes."On average, users are spending twice the amount of time engaged with Pokemon Go than they are on apps like Snapchat." Pokemon Go requires users to create an avatar, or online persona, that changes location as the user does in the real world.The objective is to earn points and win virtual lollies and stardust by capturing 'wild' Pokemon that appear at random as the user moves about, or lures them with incense.But it doesn't always work out, as one user noted: "That moment when @pokemon go app crashes while you're trying to evolve a pokemon, so it doesn't work but takes your candy away..."
