Quick, what’s better than free stuff?! If you said anything other than “nothing” then you must not be as poor as I am. Still, free stuff is always groovy, and that’s why it’s awesome that Galcon, the developers of Dynamite Jack, are giving you a free PC/Mac copy of their game when you buy the iPhone version.
The iPhone port of Dynamite Jack is set to hit the App Store tomorrow. For the first 48 hours, as a special introductory offer, Galcon will be giving away a DRM-free copy of the game for PC/Mac/Linux as well as a Steam code for PC/Mac.
If you’ve never heard of the game before, it can only be described as a stealthy dungeon crawler with a healthy amount of puzzling.

Additionally, a simple map creation and sharing system makes for near limitless replayability, with over 250 community maps out there so far.

Dynamite Jack is available for $2.99 on the iPad App Store now and for $4.99 on Steam. It will hit the iPhone App Store tomorrow. You can learn more about Galcon on their official website.
