We are very happy to announce that the SQUIDS [tentacular] universe just got its first extension today with the launch of the SQUIDS Comics and the first two episodes of SQUIDS To the Edge of the Sea. It was also a great occasion to craft a surprise for our fans: today SQUIDS and SQUIDS Wild West get free updates on the App Store with new content and in particular The Ballad of Clint and Sammo, a mini-comic book in two parts that reveals how the mighty Sammo first crossed path with the most wanted Squids Clint! The comic book dives into that exciting part of the backstory when Steev, Clint and the team set to find the missing Winnick with the hope to stop the Black Torrent for good. But they uncover fragments of Winnick youth that send them to perilous new adventures, tracking the extraordinary crew of a ancient pirate ship on which Winnick was a sailor and discovering some dangerous secrets on the way. The book has been created in collaboration with the talented team at APE Entertainment who already used their magic on properties like Pocket God or Cut the Rope. We are extremely happy with the amazing art and swashbuckling story and confident that it will appeal to fans and comic book lovers as well. SQUIDS Comics for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch is available today on the App Store for 0.99$ and includes episode 1 and episode 2 for a limited time.
