Things are starting to really pick up in 2016 with this week’s list of new iOS game releases. At long, long last FDG’s Mega Man-inspired platformer Venture Kid has finally launched, and it’s fantastic. Then there’s Punch Club which launched on Steam earlier this week, and is a crazy mishmash of Kairosoft-style simulation, boxing, and pop culture parodies. Then there’s Tower of Fortune 3, the latest entry in the popular slot machine roguelike series, and it looks like the best one yet. And of course everyone seems to be playing Pocket Mortys, which we’ve already reviewed and enjoyed a bunch. And that’s only the beginning as there’s a TON of other stuff this week too. Let us know what games you plan on picking up this week in the comments below!

An endless action word and match puzzler with hours of challenging game play. Use your flying pickax to mine and collect ore, coins and precious jewels from a magical letter grid in the sky! Become a master grid manipulator by carefully (or brutally) amassing fortunes of copper, silver and gold through sequences of orderly word destruction.
Unlike most word games, Gnomium’s core game play focuses on re-arranging words rather than finding them. In fact, the most efficient way to play is by not thinking of words at all, but rather sliding existing words to fill in empty spaces in order to create larger word combinations before you destroy them.
