Scarlett and the Spark of Life Episode 1 goes free on iPhone

Episode one of Scarlett and the Spark of Life, a point-and-click adventure on iPhone and iPod touch, has gone free in a collaboration with OpenFeint.

The game features the kidnapped Princess Scarlett, who’s sick of waiting for a knight in shining armour to turn up and rescue her. So instead she uses her wits and a few bits and bobs strewn around her dungeon to construct a mechanical horse and break out.

The off-beat adventure is a point-and-click adventure with inventories, conversation trees, and plenty of head-scratching logic puzzles. It’s also got a unique visual style and an eclectic cast of humorous characters.

In our Silver Award review we called it “a charming, easy-to-love adventure”, and noted “the introductory episode of Scarlett and the Spark of Life is a fine start for a promising new series.”

You can grab the game for nothing on iTunes or by clicking the App Store logo below. The deal runs today only, and the price tag will rocket back up to £1.19 / $1.99 / €1.59 from tomorrow morning.
