WP7 DotW: June 27th, 2012

A newcomer finally appears in the Deal of the Week spot

Written by Suyomizzle on 27 June 12 at 16:27

A physics based puzzler starring animals is this week's deal.

Gerbil Physics (WP) - $2.99 / £2.29 $1.99 / £1.49

Adorable gerbil destruction! Buildings formed of gerbils await destruction for your amusement using a variety of demolition tools. Use bombs, explosives and disintegrators to wreak havoc across multiple danger-packed worlds, earn Xbox LIVE Achievements and dominate your friends on the Leaderboards! A powerful physics engine ensures that gerbils respond to your mass detonations exactly as real gerbils might.

All is not well in the Kingdom of Gerbils! The King of Toads has imprisoned them in indestructible blocks for his evil pleasures. It falls to you to demolish the gerbil buildings and thwart the Toad King. Carefully plan a destruction strategy using disintegrators or just let rip with a barrage of powerful explosives. Complete levels cleverly or quickly to earn the elusive Wipeout badges and use your guile and intuition to earn Xbox LIVE Achievements. Multiple Leaderboards are available to show off your skills to your friends so you can bask in the glory of your explosive successes!

Gerbil Physics is suitable for all ages. Remember how much fun it was to kick down a sandcastle when you were 10 years old? This game is that feeling made digital. It is simple to play, has an intuitive interface, and is ideally suited to mobile gaming.

Gerbil Physics is a Windows phone exclusive ported from the highly rated and critically acclaimed Xbox 360 Indie game described by Kotaku as being ""as adorable as it is enthralling"". It has been wholly rewritten to suit the mobile platform, with a new state-of-the-art physics engine, glorious new art and animations, tons of cunningly designed levels and an awesome new theme tune.

No gerbils were hurt in the making of this game.
You can find the game on the Marketplace here.

Then theres thee fact that there generally cheaper on other platforms

Then yesterday it dropped to 0.99. Haunt on the xbla platform was deal a few weeks back. Today it became free. Basic strategy: try to sell it cheaper, before you are going to throw it out anyway.

This is still some of the chaos getting ironed out since MS finally aloud a $1 price point so we won't be seeing as many games reduced to $1 because now the developers can release a game for that price.

This seems like a prime candidate for a 99 cent price drop.

It is also due to receive an update very soon, rumor has it.

(like Chickens Can't Fly which just dropped to 99 cents after an update a couple of weeks after it was on sale)

You've been warned... laugh
