Santa's written his list, he's checked it twice, and he's decided who's naughty and nice based on some indiscernible criteria.

But we don't discriminate over at Pocket Gamer, and that makes us nicer and more charitable than Santa Claus in a way.

Especially since we're giving away free codes for the best premium mobile games 2016 had to offer to members of our community of mobile gaming fanatics, the App Army.

To learn more about our Advent Calendar, read the post from December first. Or, if you know the drill by now, read on to learn why you were wrong to not play SteamWorld Heist this year.

What's the hold up?

Was that a poor attempt at a joke? I'll just go ahead and ignore it. SteamWorld Heist is a tactical shooter in which you play as a bunch of steampunk pirate robots.

I'm just going to let just how awesome that sounds sink in.

It's turn-based, with you and your opponent getting your shots in one after the other. You aim manually, and can pull off some insane skill shots by ricocheting your laser bullets off the environment.

We fell in love with SteamWorld Heist at review, giving it a thoroughly deserved Gold Award and saying: "SteamWorld Heist's brand of 2D tactics is intensely satisfying when everything comes together and you survive against overwhelming odds".

I want to be a steampunk pirate robot

Well just one rootin' tootin' second. First you have to sign up the App Army here, then write your name as it appears on Facebook in the comments below this post.

If you're one of the lucky winners, you'll then receive your code via a Facebook PM within one working day of the post going live.

We only have iOS codes for this one though, so if you're Android only, please pop back another day. We've got plenty more in store for you.
