A pleasant surprise this morning as Spilt Milk Studios has again made their excellent Snake meets Geometry Wars retro arcade title Hard Lines temporaily free on the App Store. The offer (as per the usual for iOS handouts) goes for today, and today only.

I’ve been playing the game during travel days this summer and have to say it’s one of the top titles in terms of quality and depth I’ve discovered thus far on the platform. Hard Lines provides hours of high-score topping fun through a bunch of different creative and fun modes accompanied by a slew of whitty/hilarious one-liners. Plus it just recently received a content update adding a new Daily Challenge mode and four new power ups–iPhone/iPad owners don’t miss this one if you’ve yet to take the opportunity to pick it up.

Android owners must wait for another day for a free offer on the game, but they can still pick it up at its normal price of $2.99 anytime.
