Seabeard is a colorful adventure game that is created by London-based independent game developer Hand Circus, and published by Backflip Studios. The game was released some time ago for iOS, and garnered great reviews from gamers and media outlets. Android users have been waiting for the game to arrive, and now we know the release date, which is May 14th.
[UPDATE: May 13th, 2015 – 9:08 AM, PST] It looks like Backflip Studios has a surprise for us today. We expected Seabeard to arrive on the 14th, but the game is now available in the Google Play Store. If you have been waiting for an adventure upon the high seas, you are now able to download Seabeard for free. The game does include in-app purchases, should you choose to take advantage of them. The link to download the game is at the end of this article.
