Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Squid Hero for Kinect
Squid Hero for Kinect is a motion-control puzzle game built entirely around Xbox Kinect's gesture recognition. You physically move your arms and body to steer a squid avatar through simple environmental obstacles and collectibles. It's the kind of game designed for living-room novelty rather than depth: fun for a few sessions with kids or casual players who want something different from a controller, but the gesture detection can be finicky and the actual puzzles don't evolve much beyond "move left, move right, jump." If you own a Kinect and have small children or want to turn gaming into a full-body activity, it's harmless enough. Everyone else should know this is niche motion-control fodder that hasn't aged particularly well. The squid theme is cute, but it doesn't compensate for limited gameplay variety or the frustration of imprecise motion tracking.
