Magnetic Billiards: Blueprint free for Christmas

By Wesley Yin-Poole Published 21 December, 2011

Major new update out early next year.

Excellent sports puzzle iOS game Magnetic Billiards: Blueprint is free for Christmas, The Pickford Brothers have announced.

It's a present from the veteran UK game designers to you, the gamers. There's a picture of the pair all happy and smiling, below.

"We hope that Magnetic Billiards: Blueprint will the first game installed on Christmas morning by those people lucky enough to unwrap a shiny new iPad or iPhone," said co-designer John Pickford, "and if it is, there's a danger it will be the only game they install that day, as they become instantly addicted".

An update to the game launches early next year. It adds Replay and Undo, 40 new tables and two Prototypes that show off early versions of a new Arcade mode, Squish, and a new game concept, I Sent my Monkey to the Moon.

All the new content is free of charge to Skeleton Key owners, co-designer Ste Pickford said. "In fact, we're adding so much new content - all of which Skeleton Key owners get for free - that we're going to have to increase the price of the Skeleton Key when version 2.0 launches, so anyone considering purchasing the Skeleton Key should grab it now while it's still at a low price."

    Wasn't it ALWAYS free? (With a variety of options for IAPs?)

    @FairgroundTown

    He's right. It is free but with In App Purchases... unless they plan on making all content free. It looks like the Skeleton Key (a.k.a Season Pass) will just allow access to future content.

    Can someone please confirm if this is correct? Or confirm if this is an advertorial?

    It's been out since July this year as a free app and has been fluctuating between free and 69 pence since then, spending about half the time as a paid app and about half the time as a free one. Yeah, this isn't really news.
