ChuChu Rocket! is free for iPhone today photo

One of my favorite timewasters, Sega's cat/mouse/spaceship puzzler ChuChu Rocket!, is free for iPhone and iPod Touch today. The latest update adds online multiplayer, Retina Display support and a few performance upgrades. And it's free today, down from the normal price of $2.99 on the App Store. 

A few years back I did a remix of the Japanese Dreamcast commercial for this game. You have to watch the insane music video that Dave Kelly did for my song. I pulled the above image from this video.

Bought it for a buck way back when.

I honestly didn't like it too much. I usually like these sort of weird puzzle games.

It's better on Dreamcast, but still! It's Chu Chu Rocket! Everyone, do anything you can to show Sega that we want more Chu Chu Rocket! (Thought: Chu Chu Rocket would be awesome on the 3DS eShop.)

For what you get (apparently over 500 puzzles in the stages), it's a great get. I just wish it had stage builder/character creator like the GBA version. :P

Swell. I bought the iphone and iPad versions the day it came out to show support. Glad it's out there as a freebie title now. :-/
