Each and every day new mobile games are hitting the App Store, and so each week we put together a big old list of all the best new releases of the past seven days. Back in the day the App Store would showcase the same games for a week, and then refresh those features each Thursday. Because of that developers got into the habit of releasing their games throughout Wednesday or very early Thursday in order to hopefully get one of those coveted features spots. Nowadays the App Store refreshes constantly, so the need for everyone to release all on the same day has diminished. Still, we’ve kept our weekly Wednesday night format as for years that’s the time people knew to check TouchArcade for the list of new games. And so without further ado please check out the full list of this week’s new games below, and let us know in the comments section which games you’ll be picking up!

Mislead

iTunes Description

Mislead : To lead or guide wrongly.
Hopefully you can follow directions!

To play this unique game you will need to get Bu the Blob around the board by following the arrows. Every time you remove a block, Bu will move the direction of the next arrow. There are different kinds of blocks – spiky, bouncy and slidy. This makes the puzzler, because you need to think about the right block to remove at the right time. And to make things more fun, there are teleports. Who doesn’t love moving through teleports?

iTunes Description

This is an adaptation for iOS of the original desktop game by Jason Rohrer. If you have played the original, you will recognize Jason’s cute and quirky graphics and sounds, as well as the wonderful premise: rebuilding civilization from scratch, together with other players and across countless generations.

You are born either as a baby to one of the other players, or as a young woman if no suitable mother is found. Every minute of real time is one year in the game and your maximum age is 60 years. A single life is limited, but the things you make during your lifetime are left for your children and grandchildren once you are gone. Try to make life a little bit easier for those who come after you, so your family line will have a chance to prosper for generations to come.

      Ooo. No collection of prices and store links at the end?

      I totally get that nuking the affiliate programme might make this addition a frankly worthless waste of time, but as someone who literally scours the end list for new premium games (and new premium games, as identified by the existence of a non-free price tag only) that renders this pretty much useless for my weekly game-buying purposes. Oh well!

    2. Adam

      I've heard of One Hour One Life on other platforms, really interesting different idea. No clue how successful it is though

      Still playing Super Spell Heroes, though the f2p is not good. Making money still difficult, even with the addition of ads to watch etc as they aren't very rewarding. Fun to play against real people for each short battle though, and a fair bit of strategy involved as you go, being able to see the other players' boards and what they're selecting is great.

    3. Qaioud

      I am Jesus.

      1. Jared Nelson

        Your comments were stuck in the spam filter. Jesus.

        1. Qaioud

          Thx for the clarification :thumbs:

          Yrs,

          Jesus.

    4. Regjohn

      This list should separate f2p and premium. I hate it when I find a game I’m interested in just to click the link and realize it’s f2p

      1. hellscaretaker

        why hate f2p game so much this is how the market is now?

        1. Regjohn

          Because I’m not interested in overwhelming 4 different currencies, loot boxes, timers, paywalls and other shenanigans. I just want to play games. f2p change the gameplay in a way that make it no fun. It become a burden

          1. hellscaretaker

            It is the way of the market now, players do not want to spend any kind of money on a game. Yet also there is many a F2P out there that once you made a small IAP open up to you, have you not heard of shareware before now?

          1. Qaioud

            Literally, because #premium4lief.

            Well over 100 reasons there to stay premium!

            (Tbf, I think there are 2 freemium games in there; though Asphalt 9 really is just waiting for deletion).

          2. iNerdBR

            Holy Molly!

            Man, this iPhones have 600gb?

            jajajaja

          3. iNerdBR

            BTW, i saved ur imga to download that games on future

          4. hellscaretaker

            Developers are damned if they do and damned if they dont, all them games you see there have been pirated downloaded more times then they been paid for.

            1. Mr. Mayhem

              Maybe on Android but not on iOS, spread your lies somewhere else, a very very small fraction of iPhone/iPad owners jailbreak anymore.

            2. Qaioud

              This is a pretty content free comment, tbh.

              Some people like premium games. Others like freemium. Others will play both. Not all will.

              Each proposition has a different set of benefits / drawbacks.

              Devs are still making top end premium titles. Devs are still selling top end premium titles.

              So I’m not really sure what your point is, unless it’s “reality doesn’t exist and blah blah everything is f2p and everyone should play what I play.” Which is about as daft as it sounds.

              1. hellscaretaker

                no it was you that saying F2P is crap and do not play it,

                1. Qaioud

                  Where did I say that?

                  I think you’re either confusing me with someone else, or are (perhaps) an idiot.

      2. Qaioud

        It used to, by conveniently providing a list of links and prices at the bottom.

        With that gone, yeah. This list isn’t much use to me.

        1. Mr. Mayhem

          Exactly, I don’t get why they keep changing the design of this website for the worse.

        2. Jared Nelson

          It's still supposed to, something got borked in this week's post. I've sent a note to our dev to look into it.

      3. DanCJ

        I don't know if that's really feasible.

        You get:
        Paid games with no IAPs
        Paid games with purchasable expansions
        Paymium games
        Freemium games
        Free games with purely cosmetic IAPs
        Free games with no IAPs at all.
        Free to try games with a single IAP to unlock.

        Sorting them into just free and paid really doesn't begin to distinguish between all of these.

        1. Eli Hodapp

          Not only that but it would take an absolutely unbelievable amount of time to do this as it'd require playing and analyzing every game that came out today *plus* the categories likely wouldn't be accurate for very long. Games get updated all the time and have their pay models shifted.

          1. Qaioud

            Have you considered implementing something like this, perhaps at the end of the full list?

            I can see that working well enough for most purposes!

            https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

          2. Regjohn

            You guys took it too far.
            Just separate them to paid and free so people like me can ignore f2p. It shouldn’t be hard or time consuming. Or at least add price tag to the list if you don’t want to offense the devs

            1. Jared Nelson

              It was a technical bug, all the game links are now listed at the bottom of this post with prices just like they always are.

              1. Regjohn

                Thank you

    5. iNerdBR

      Yakes, too much freemiuns to my taste!

      :(

    6. Chris

      This article should really mention that - as promised - Rome is now Universal!!!

      1. StumbleSojourn

        This is a new release post, not a new update post

        1. Chris

          It's basically a new release, for those without iPads, which is most people.

          But you are technically correct.

          I wasn't imagining a big image and link and all that so much as a note in the intro.
