The puzzle solving game Pilot Brothers 2 is this week's myAppFree Deal
Pilot Brothers 2 is a sequel game that is available in both the Windows Phone and Windows Store and like the original, you are tasked with helping the brothers Chief and Colleague solve a mystery.
In this installment, the brother's cat has been kidnapped and they must solve a series of puzzles to find and rescue their cat. The game is normally priced at $2.99 for either the Windows Phone or Windows 8 version. However, through the myAppFree deal for the next 24 hours you can pick up the Windows Phone version free. Due to a scheduling error, the Windows 8 version will be free beginning tomorrow.
The backstory with Pilot Brothers 2 has their cat being kidnapped by Experimental Chef Sumo. The brothers must solve nine levels of puzzles and mini-games to track down their cat, Arsenic before Chef Sumo serves him up with French Fries.
Challenges range from constructing the catnapper's mugshot to sneaking past a railway station's ticket counter and crossing a river without a bridge. Puzzles will require timing and teamwork between the two brothers and an easy to use control panel sits on the edge of the gaming screen to help toggle between the two brothers and use items they discover.
Just tinkering with the Windows Phone gaming version of Pilot Brothers 2, it comes across as a challenging, time-consuming game. Pilot Brothers 2 normally runs $2.99 in either the Windows Phone or Windows Store and through the myAppFree deal, you can pick up the Windows Phone version free over the next 24 hours. The Windows 8 version will be free as well, but due to a scheduling error that deal will not be live until tomorrow.
At last check, Pilot Brothers 2 is rated at 5 Stars in the Windows Phone Store and 4.3 Stars in the Windows Store. Our gut feels the game is in the 4 Star range and if you try Pilot Brothers 2, let us know how you would rate the game in the comments below.
Note: The Windows Phone version may take a little while longer before it shows up in the myAppFree app but the deal is already live in the Windows Phone Store.
