It’s that time of year again, as this is the last release week before iTunes shuts down all of next week for the holidays. There’s a massive amount of new games tonight, and I’d guess there will be some stragglers tomorrow and Friday as well. It’s been a great year of gaming on iOS, and during the slow time next week you can look forward to what we thought was the cream of the crop. But for now, bask in the warm glow of a ton of new games to check out in the list below.

Colorazy is a fun and addictive free puzzle game about colors and mazes.
Your goal is to connect two dots so that the route passed through all cells on the field. But it’s not so easy! You can move from one cell to another only if the colors of connected sides are equal. So, to make a route and to solve the puzzle, you need to properly rotate cells on the field.

Pinball Planet Pro
iTunes Description
We’ve always loved to play pinball games but we noticed most modern pinball games are simulators for the hardcore and nostalgic pinball players. That’s why we aimed to create a pinball game for the new generation of gamers, who may not be familiar with the concept. We feel we’ve succeeded in our goal.
The game includes three completely different and unique pinball levels full of mysteries and secrets. A dynamic mission system unlocks new challenges and fun approaches to pinball gameplay. Pinball Planet features simple RPG elements such as a leveling system, power-ups, statistics, a simple in-game economy, challenges and complete freedom in gameplay progression.
It’s a game for everyone, gamers both old and new to pinball. It combines the best parts of old-school pinball games, but adds original and fun digital additions that are not possible in real-life pinball games. The game is easy to understand and play, it’s controls and interface are easy and intuitive to use. It’s the perfect game for short play sessions and stays challenging during long play sessions thanks to the fun mission system.
