We don’t normally post news about iOS/Android games but this is pretty cool:

From Gen42 Games e-Newletter:

Why Free?

For everyone waiting patiently for an update, we are going to release the game free for a limited period. This is so our loyal fans can have the opportunity to get hold of the game without having to pay twice for it, that is if it was already purchased first time around. Those who did not get it the first time around can now get it for free. Lucky you, … enjoy!

Unfortunately we cannot just update the older game due to a change of developer account, this is the only way we can do this.

Please download the game on the 9th of February. Please rate it kindly and spread the word.

Also please help us to build the online community by playing online. Hive shines when played against real opponents.
