Amazon's Free App of the Day - Aporkalypse: Pigs of Doom

written by: Nick Kosmides

Another late Amazon Free App of the Day update from me, but another awesome free game from Amazon.  How can you be mad at me, this game is worth the 99 cents they wanna charge.

Great graphics using a very basic palette in a game where you control a fat hungry pig out to stop an apocalypse - err aporkalypse - with the help of some other porky friends on a grid patterned world.  The object is to move square by square to the end of the level.  With puzzle elements creating the challenge and some 30 levels keeping you coming.


I've only just scratched the surface of the game, having only freed the first of my pig friends.  He appears to be a tank pig, aka War Pig.  The first pig was Hunger Pig and he is used to eat bales of hay then spit them out.  There was actually an eat button followed by a spit-up button.  Hilarious!

If you enjoy humorous puzzlers with subliminal "America is fat" jokes then download this game pronto.  I may have made that last part up, though given that the company is from Giebelstadt, Germany and Bucharest, Romania and another of their free games is called Super Dynamite Fishing where the protagonist is a redneck America breaking the law on a daily basis to impress a woman, I feel I may be accurate.
