About six months ago, a relatively unknown studio, Hidden Variable, launched their first mobile game to immense success. On May 25, Bag It! is getting a very expansive update, featuring new levels, all-new achievements, new modes, and best of all, a new character.

Meet Fizzy. He’s an adorable little soda bottle who’s a bit of a loner with explosive tendencies. Put him under too much pressure, and next thing you know, you’ll have cola and carbonation all over everything in your grocery bag. Working him into your grocery bag is going to be one of the toughest challenges to date for Bag It! That’s right, harder than fitting Crusteau into a bag upright or finding a safe place for Sir Eggward and Nacho during a game of Ultimate Bagger.

All of this extra effort will be well worth it, though, because for the first time, achievements are being added to Bag It! as in-game achievements on Android or via Apple’s GameCenter. In addition to these achievements will be 16 new levels across the Standard, Rampage, and Puzzle game types. Top it off with 3 revamped Endless Modes and you’ve got yourself one expertly packed bag of content.

If for some reason, everything you’ve seen here hasn’t been enough to convince you to drop some money on this game, you’re not out of luck. Hidden Variable has also released a free ‘Lite’ version of Bag It! which will give you a small 16 level sampling of the full game so you can try it out for yourself. Once you do, you’ll realize that the mere asking price of $1.99 is incredibly generous, especially with all of the new content being added this month.

The expansion will be a free upgrade to the full version of Bag It! and is expected to hit iOS and Android on May 25.
