Fling-friendly strategy RPG Squids Wild West is free this weekend for iPhone and iPad
Tentacular savings
We know what you're inking, that this story will be full to the gills with bad squid puns since we're suckers for that sort of thing.
But we're also pocket gaming professionals, which is why we had to report on a great sale on an equally great game. For a limited time, the Pocket Gamer Silver Award-winning Squids Wild West is available as a free download on the App Store.
The App usually sells for 99c/69p, so the sale's not particularly tremendous - but the amount of gameplay you'll get for the price of 'free' certainly is.
Squids Wild West is a sequel The Game Baker's original Silver Medal-winner Squids that carries on the tradition of mixing action-strategy elements with a satisfying RPG approach.
Only this time, it features mollusks in adorable cowboy hats.
The goal is to grab your squids by the tentacles and fling them across the battlefield. This touch-based style of frantic gameplay literally flies in the face of the careful decisions that go into your average strategy RPG, but it's also what helps make Squids Wild West so enjoyable.
In our review of Squids Wild West, noted that it was every bit as good as the original and that it was a "cleverly designed tactical RPG that anyone can play”.
Sound good? Good. Now go download it beak-fore the sale's over.
