Wow, it’s turned out to be a pretty insane week for new releases. Some highly-anticipated heavy hitters like Rayman Fiesta Run, Tiny Death Star and Ace Patrol: Pacific Skies are finally upon us. The quirky virtual pet/ninja simulator Clumsy Ninja, which made an appearance at the unveiling of the iPhone 5 and then basically disappeared, is now available and actually quite cool. The second part of my favorite digital gamebook Sorcery! has me excited, and there’s even a game about grooming facial hair while warding off stray cows. Finally, the arcade football game Football Heroes is releasing a bit later tonight at midnight PST, so don’t forget about that either.
Update: Still waiting for Tiny Death Star and Clumsy Ninja to show up. We’ll keep you posted.

Octagon
iTunes Description
Octagon is a minimal arcade game where you have to move fast or be left behind. As the floor moves beneath you, spin your world around to dodge speed bumps. Flip upside-down to avoid holes, surf on top of the Octagon—whatever you can do to survive. An energizing soundtrack by Sqeepo and psychedelic color bursts keep you in the zone on your race to the finish. But with each round over after just 60 seconds, only super-fast reflexes will beat this very challenging game.
