Whale Trail Classic, from Monument Valley Dev ustwo, is half price on Android

ustwo games, the studio behind the hugely popular Monument Valley series, cut the price of Whale Trail Classic in half. You can download it right now for $ 1.99, down from its regular price of $ 3.99.

Whale Trail was ustwo’s only major game before Monument Valley, and it was a hit with critics thanks to its addicting casual gameplay, vibrant art style, and original soundtrack from Super Furry Animals founder Gruff Rhys.

As for the gameplay, it lets you tap the screen to keep a flying whale in the air, collect glowing orbs, dodge clouds, and perform backflips.

Unfortunately, Whale Trail did not perform as well as it deserved commercially, which led ustwo to release a free version called Whale Trail Frenzy which was, inevitably, not as good.

Whale Trail Classic is an absolute joy, however, and well worth a $ 1.99 punt. Download it now on the Google Play Store.
