Drug dealing version of Underworld coming to Android

One of those game to run foul of Apple's approvals process, A-Steroids' online drug dealing experience DrugLords, then called Underworld, only made it onto the App Store as SweetDeal.

Selling gummy bears and doughnuts hardly summons up the same nefarious delights as virtual coke and weed though.

It seems like the morals of Google's Android Market are more lax however, as the game will be coming out for Android devices soon.

"We've been working on it for some time already and the launch date is really close now," says A-Steroids' blog.

To be called Underworld: Traffic, it will revert to the original DrugLords design, which has you moving around the persistent game world - which is layered over the real world thanks to GPS or wi-fi location.

The goal is to find places where you can buy drugs cheaply from labs and then sell them to your clients for profit.

Like SweetDeal, it will be a free download, although as yet there's no mention of whether it will support in-app micro-transactions, which is how A-Steroids plans to fund development of the iPhone version in the longterm.

SweetDeal is now available from the App Store for free. Hit this link for a sweet deal.
