TouchArcade Rating:

It’s Wednesday night here in the US which means another batch of new iOS games have just hit the App Store. The long-awaited Godfire: Rise of Prometheus is finally upon us, and it should satisfy those looking for Greek Mythology-based action and gorgeous visuals. Besides that heavy hitter, there’s also a pretty extensive list of other cool stuff releasing tonight, so be sure to give the list below a good, long look and sound off in the comments with what you’re picking up.

Bubble Fish Party

iTunes Description

Bubble Fish Party is a family party brawler in which four players take control of wacky blowfish and have just one goal: To pierce their opponents by knocking them against spikes around an aquarium arena and collect the points.

The game features two unusual power-ups which can change the course of the game: A bomb that unleashes a powerful push wave, and spikes that grow on the losing player’s fish, eliminating other fish on contact.

Bubble Fish Party makes the most of its wacky feel, fast gameplay, and local multiplayer mechanics: play on one device and enjoy together.

Crumpets

iTunes Description

Find Li’l one, Granny and all the family in four fun and colorful mini-games.

BROKEN FAMILY – Caprice and Li’l one need to rearrange the family photos in this sliding block puzzle game. But watch out for Ohoh and her annoying habit of rotating the picture.

THE SKY’S THE LIMIT – Ditzy and Li’l one stack all sorts of objects to build a tower high enough to reach the clouds. A word of warning: keep your tower balanced if you don’t want it to come crashing down.

THIS FAMILY SUCKS – Li’l one is fed up with his countless brothers and sisters, so he decides to seek refuge in the attic and take out his frustrations on the models representing the different members of his family. Watch out for Bother and Blister, who have snuck into the attic with some firecrackers. If Li’l one hits one, it’s fireworks for sure.

COME GIVE GRANNY A KISS – You can always count on Granny and her good ideas. She’s playing concentration with the family photos, but watch out, because if she turns over Uncle Hurry and Aunt Harriet, it’s game over.

He escapes from captivity by eating his way through the aquarium and taking revenge on his trainer. The shark is the final playable character, an artificial fish created by scientists to save Earth’s oceans. It uses self-replicating nano technology to consume everything in its path and convert their matter into its own. There’s no telling how big this shark will get.
