Out at midnight: Squish the villagers who killed your beloved in Adult Swim's Giant Boulder of Death

Destruction is always fun. And if it's destruction in the name of bizarre rock love, then all the better.

That's the idea behind Giant Boulder of Death, the latest iOS release from Adult Swim Games and PikPok.

The game itself has just gone live on the New Zealand App Store, meaning it'll be available from midnight tonight in the UK and US.

Giant Boulder of Death is an endless, err, roller in which you control the titular rock.

You need to smash as much stuff as possible while avoiding the spikes and other traps the bad guys who killed your ladylove have deposited in your path.

Since this is a game about endless forward motion, no prizes for guessing there are gold things to collect and challenges to complete to give you a little extra incentive on each run.

You can upgrade your boulder to jump higher, turn sharper, and smash better, too. With each smashy upgrade, you'll be able to plough through larger obstacles.

Giant Boulder of Death might not be subtle, but there's a solid arcade thrill at the centre of the game that makes it worth some of your time.

Giant Boulder of Death will be out at around midnight tonight in the UK and US. It won't cost you anything to give it a whirl.
