This Holiday Season, Play As Santa And Save The World From The Darklings
December 23, 2013
The dark world of Darklings has just been given a new hope for the triumph of light this holiday season.
Darklings is an endless gesture-based survival game that has you helping a warrior of light named Lum as it strives to rid the world of the titular entities and retrieve the stars.
Released late last month, it was hailed as AppAdvice's Game of the Week early this month. And now, it has received its first major update, which happens to be its holiday-themed update.
Darklings' holiday-themed update decks the game's backgrounds, bosses, and app icon in Christmas decorations, with Christmas music thrown in for good, jolly measure.

But perhaps most notably, it lets you play and save the world as none other Santa, who arrives as a limited-time free character. With him come a new Santa Crush bonus and a new free color called Bloody Merry.
And in harmony with the season's spirit of giving, the update also gives 25 free power-ups and offers a "more forgiving" gesture recognition.
The new version of Darklings is available now in the App Store for free or as a new $0.99 download. The game is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 5.0 or later.
The newly updated game also includes minor bug fixes and critical performance upgrades for the iPhone 4 and the fourth-generation iPod touch.
