Cthulhu to Save the World on Mac, iOS, Android in 2012, Mayans wrong

by Jessica Conditt on Jan 5th 2012 1:00PM

Indie gem Cthulhu Saves the World has helped more than 150,000 people enact tentacled justice on XBLIG and PC since December 2010, and it will expand its reach with a release on Mac, iOS and Android devices in Q1 this year, developer Zeboyd Games announced.

Zeboyd's Robert Boyd tweeted that he "waited until the ports were almost done before making the announcement," which marks a novel way of conducting game-release announcements, wherein developers wait until they're sure the game will be released before announcing that the game will be released. Revolutionary.

Cthulhu Saves the World also got a price drop on XBLIG, to 80 MS Points ($1), effective right now. So go! The world won't save itself.

Mayans are the new zombies

@MayorMikeHaggar
Left 4 Dead 2012? There's a campaign I can get behind.

@MayorMikeHaggar

I wish that were true. I could get behind some Mayan, Central American, crazy ancient city games.

Awesome! It makes me happy to see these guys have such success that they are expanding their platforms. If I remember right, they had to use Kickstarter to get the funds for the PC version. Looks like things are going pretty good for them since that release.

$1 on XBL?! Sold!

@IRONSAM owo, me too!

@IRONSAM It's $3 on Steam, and it also comes with their previous game, Breathe of Death 7

If it's optimized for Xperia Play then consider my money to already be in their pockets.

Yes! Mac AND iOS AND Android ports! I love you Zeb

@KGameLover1 Zeboyd*. Silly phone.

I can get this on my phone?! SO MUCH LOST PRODUCTIVITY.

Wait don't count your chickens just yet! The Mayan's date is in December.

I really love this game. Best dollar I ever spent. (Bought it during a Steam sale.) Hell, I even decided to make a Let's Play of it. (My username on YouTube is the same as here.)

I bought it once and will buy it again! YEAAAH!

Hoping for an eventual Windows Phone release. PC version will hold me over for now though.

Played the demo on Xbox and away to purchase on Steam so I can get Breath Of Death 7 as well. Wonder if the iOS version will feature additional content.

Really? 80 MS points on Live right now? I think I've got that sitting on my account...

Man, I'm downloading this as soon as I get home! SCORE!

You know I already bought this on Steam, but since it's so cheap, I'll probably buy it on iOS. Not only is it more support for the devs, but it always felt more like a fun portable game than a game to sit in front of my computer and play.

Oh excellent! I've been waiting for a portable release---somehow the pacing turn-based RPGs just feels more right on iOS or DS, where I can subway-enjoy.
