Best of the rest - Android edition: Robo5, FlashOut 3D, infinite, and more

Welcome to "Best of the rest - Android edition", Pocket Gamer's round-up of all the new 'droid games that we didn't find the time to cover this week.

Hundreds of new games hit Google Play every day, so we can never write about everything. Instead, we pick and choose the most interesting and noteworthy apps.

To make sure no one is left out, though, we like to chuck a few of the most exciting 'leftover' new Android games in this here article.

Let us know if you like the look of any of these.

If you played last year's psycho-sexual puzzle-RPG Catherine, you might find the premise of Robo5 somewhat familiar.

Before you ask, no, we don't mean the sexy stuff. Rather, we're referring to the section of the game where the protagonist had to clamber up towers of movable boxes.

Dev Animoca borrows this core mechanic for Robo5, but replaces Catherine's anime loverat star with a cute robot.

It's easy to pick up, and the touch controls suit the climbing oriented gameplay fairly well. Plus, you can try it for free.

You don't have to be Poirot to see where Jujubee got the inspiration for futuristic anti-grav racer FlashOut 3D.

Hell, even its title is a play on Studio Liverpool's neon-kissed combat racing series WipEout.

As you might expect, FlashOut 3D lets you jump into the cockpit of an array of zero-G vehicles, and tool around physically improbable international race tracks.

It's certainly better-looking than some of the other F-Zero / WipEout tribute apps on Google Play. Some early bugs have been reported, though, so proceed with caution.

Here's another game to add to the list of silhouette platformers, a subgenre which has become increasingly popular since the success of Limbo.

In this instance, you're guiding a small fluffy ball called Furfur round a series of side-scrolling environments, hopping between platforms in search of an exit.

Furfur is assisted by Nublo, a disc-shaped helper who can act as a movable platform for his fuzzy pal to jump upon.

It's decent enough to look at, though we're not sure how much variety lurks beyond the opening stages.

If you have a soft spot for games which favour art style over polygon count, you might want to take a look at infinite.

You control a small ring which is orbit around circle at the centre of the screen.

The aim of the game is to collect energy matter, while avoiding obstacles and other floating space debris.

The controls are a tad unresponsive, but it's a neat idea wrapped in a visually slick package. Good soundtrack, too.

Finally, here's something a little unusual for lovers of rhythm-action games.

Rather than have you tap to create music, Plant Pot has created a game in which you must spin a hoop at varying rates to trigger musical notes.

Spinning the hoop around your finger causes an arrow to rise or fall. Spin it faster, and the arrow will shoot to the top. Slow your oscillations, and the needle will drop.

The trick is to keep the arrow in set positions for set periods of time. It's an interesting take on the genre, one which eventually leads to dual-hoola action.

The question is, are you man enough to face the double-hoola? I know I'm not.
