Tired of running through temples? Have those birds that flapped flopped? Maybe it's high time you went for a (silly) walk. Thanks to Boondoggle Studios (and the Minister of Silly Walks himself), now you can!

Released June 25, “Monty Python's Ministry of Silly Walks” is an endless running (er, walking) game that has you control the Minister of Silly Walks as he saunters through London, avoiding obstacles and collecting coins. Coins unlock new suits like the Union Jack and tartan, as well as items to help you on your way. Did you take a high-five to the face by a rather naughty bird? Use a Revive to keep moving on.

As this is an official “Python” product, it includes the famous “Monty Python's Flying Circus” theme along with the voice acting of the legendary John Cleese. At only $.99 on the iTunes App store, this game is a treat for “Python” fans and newcomers alike. (It's also available for Android users!)

Feel like you deserve a Twit of the Year award for not being familiar with the original sketch? Check it out here:
