Sofus and the Moonmachine is free this week only, on iTunes now

Sofus and the Moonmachine may be new to the market but it's certainly made its presence known. Retailing at £3.99/$4.99, The Outer Zone has contacted us letting us know that for the rest of this week the game is totally free to download.

Sofus and the Moonmachine follows the story of Sofus, a little gnorf, as he builds a spaceship and takes a perilous journey to fix the Moonmachine (as I've said before in this article).

After a successful launch on the 14th July, we gave the game a glowing review and can only hope that there is more of this to come.

Interactive storybooks/gamebooks could be the thing that's missing in a lot of bedtime routines. If you must have the iPad before bed, at least do something that doesn't include destroying a bloody castle – read a wonderful story and feel all warm and fuzzy.

Grab Sofus and the Moonmachine here on iTunes before the offer ends.
