A cute little dungeon crawler. Choose your character: • Witch • Assassin • Viking Collect coins around each level and collect additional points by killing monsters so that you can upgrade your weapon and armour. Hint: if you do not upgrade your weapon you may struggle to get past level 3. The controls are straight forward, the left joystick moves the character, the right joystick fires your weapon in that direction. There are 20 colourful levels that get progressively more difficult as you rise up through the game. The game includes Game Centre integration for those who use Game Centre where you can see your achievements, high scores and speed runs. We are always happy to hear feedback, criticism, praise or suggestions. Email us at jquest@software101.co.uk

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is an expanded re-imagining of the critically acclaimed, award winning indie game The Stanley Parable from 2013. Everything that was in the original Stanley Parable is here, preserved just like it was back in 2013. But The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe also dramatically expands the world of the original game with new content, new choices, and new secrets to uncover. The labyrinth has just gotten bigger. In addition, the game has been visually upgraded to reflect modern technology while faithfully preserving the tone of the original game. Accessibility features have also been added to the game, including localization of in-world text, colorblind options, and content warnings. And just as before, the impeccable voicework of Kevan Brighting will accompany you every step of the way. In The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, everything you remember has been recreated, yet it's different somehow. We've been here before, haven't we? Is Stanley still the same as he was back then? Or is it you who has changed?
