Skullduggery! is a clever platformer that's about flinging a disembodied head around a variety of dungeons. It's just hit the App Store in New Zealand, which means it should be out in the UK at midnight tonight.

The game is a slick and entertaining leaper that takes Angry Birds's slingshot mechanic and applies it to a quick-witted platformer.

So you're twanging a skull around, collecting gold coins, smashing into bad guys, and generally having a jolly, if slightly grim, time.

Things get pretty tough as you work your way through the game's levels, but in the best sort of way. You can check out our hands-on video at the top of the article to get a better idea of how Skullduggery! works.

When the game lands later today it'll set you back £2.99 / $4.99, which is a pretty fair price if you ask us. Which I guess you sort of have by reading this.
