To celebrate the impending success of its Kickstarter-funded platformerShantae: Half-Genie Hero (http://www.joystiq.com/game/shantae-half-genie-hero), WayForward has released its iOS predecessor gameShantae: Risky's Revenge as a free download (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/shantae-riskys-revenge-full/id486409447?mt=8) in the iTunes App Store for a limited time.
Following up on its debut for DSiWare in 2011, Risky's Revenge (http://www.joystiq.com/game/shantae-riskys-revenge) originally hit the App Store as a free trial download, with the full game locked behind an in-app purchase. WayForward has since removed this restriction, and the App Store download now includes the full version of the game.
The iOS version of Risky's Revenge has also been updated with a new optional costume, along with the ability to skip cutscenes. WayForward notes that the Dancer costume has "double the magic power, but half the defense" of Shantae's regular outfit, making it an ideal fit for speedrunners.
Currently, the Kickstarter project (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1236620800/shantae-half-genie-hero) for Shantae: Half-Genie Hero has earned over $395,000 toward its funding goal of $400,000.
