To this, they were quickly asked if they whadere signed in when they tried to claim the freebie.

Despite more fans successfully bagging this title for free than not, there are still those who, try as they might, couldn’t get it without paying.

If you can claim this bargain, now is the time to act, as the deal will be over and done with in less than 24 hours.

That being said, $3.99 is still really cheap, so you might want to follow @koopa_king88 in biting the bullet and just making the purchase.

But before you do, double – no, triple – check that you can’t get it for free.

Described as a “great game” that simply deserved better support, there are plenty of fans singing the praises of the title, warts and all.

When you can get a free download like this, why would you say no? Besides the obvious issue mentioned above.
