Retro gamers with a shallow wallet take note! Because Mutant Mudds is just the kind of pixel pushing platformer that you've been waiting for. And what a deal too. You can't beat not having to pay anything. Want to have some fun? And do you want that fun to be free? Well, than you need to get acquainted with Mutant Mudds -- today's Free App of the Day!

In the game you control Max, just your average 2D sprite who's out to jump on some platforms. Or is he? It turns out that little Max can also transition into the third dimension by leaping between the background and foreground with the use of his pixelated jetpack! This adds a clever and addictive element to the gameplay of Mutant Mudds that makes it one of the best new platformers to come around in a while.

Max's weapon of choice is a heavy-duty water cannon. We know what you're thinking right now. Platformer heroes and water cannons don't mix. But Max is fighting mud monsters ... mutant ones at that. And he puts his water cannon to much better use than a certain mustachioed platform hero that we all know. With his water cannon, Max must blast and hover his way across the soiled landscape to seek out the Water Sprites. Collecting all of the mysterious Water Sprites will wash the filthy Mutant Mudds away for good!
