Smurfs' Village iPhone, thumbnail 1
Popular social outing Smurfs' Village has received yet another update.

Additions include two brand new levels - 34 and 35 - a new squeaky mouse critter who gifts XP and is available for 25,000 coins, and new items such as stone bridges and paths.

The update also removes some of the Easter content introduced in the previous update.

Furthermore, Capcom has implemented a new cap, which stops you from downloading more than five items via in-app purchase in a 15-minute period. This follows a controversy earlier in the year in which Capcom was criticised by users and - allegedly - Apple for failing to prevent children from racking up huge iTunes bills buying Smurfberries while their parents were looking the other way.

Blue fingers

Smurfs' Village tasks you with designing and building a new home for your Smurfs, under the guidance of Papa Smurf himself.

Smurfette, Lazy Smurf, Baby Smurf, and a host of other blue companions are all included, with a selection of mini-games, and the ability to play with friends through Facebook and Game Center also present.

Grab it from the App store for free.
