It's almost the end of another week and I'll admit I've had no idea what day was what. Luckily, it's Thursday which means we get to look at what fantastic new games we get to play this weekend.

This list may not be gargantuan, but I've already found a new favourite on it at the very least. Which games will catch your eye? Let's take a look.

Almost There

  • Platform: iOS
  • Price: F2P

This minimalist platformer is sure to tickle the fancy of you Super Meat Boy lovers out there, at the very least. Its one finger controls make for a hardcore experience where you can't really blame your failures on the controls. Sorry, kids.


Among the Stars

  • Platform: iOS/Android
  • Price: £4.99/$4.99 or cheaper

Digital board game fans, you're in for a treat this week as Among the Stars finally lands on mobile. Build your base, manage your resources, adapt to different races of alien, choose the correct strategy, and more.


Be Zero

  • Platform: iOS/Android
  • Price: £1.99/$1.99 or cheaper

Get sci-fi vibes in this puzzler and start working that ol' brain of your. It's a simple goal - get every number down the zero - but, we know that's never the case during play.


Bombarika

  • Platform: iOS
  • Price: 99p/99c

Spot the bombs and push them out of the room you're in using the items around you in this curious puzzler. There's no plot or story, just a house to save and an endgame to get to. Simples.


Dust and Salt

  • Platform: iOS (also on Android)
  • Price: £2.99/$2.99 or cheaper

Love turn-based tactical games? Love narrative text adventures? Well then, this will be right up your street. Choose between force and diplomacy on the path to avenging your father's death.


Girls Frontline

In 2060 after the war has been plunged into the chaos of war, use real-time strategies, 100+ characters, skill upgrades, and more to beat your enemies. Also, enjoy a cast of Japanese voice actors to make the game really pop off the screen.


Lost Horizon 2

  • Platform: Android (also on iOS)
  • Price: £4.99/$4.99 or cheaper

Set ten years after the first in its series, it's time to return to the world of Lost Horizon as Fenton Paddock sets off on a new adventure. It's a bit of a monster download, though, so do make sure you've got enough space for it on your device.


My Child Lebensborn

This story-driven game may have pleasant graphics and a nice style to it, but there's a lot more to take in. Set in 1950s Norway, the game follows your story as you raise a Lebensborn child (a child with a German father) and help guide them through a hostile society.


Super Doggo Snack Time

You don't have to have owned a dog before to know they sure do love to eat, and what a good doggo this is. This doggo's around to save your rug from getting all messy by eating whatever falls off the table, but only with your help.


Tiny Bubbles

  • Platform: iOS
  • Price: £2.99/$2.99

If you're after a cool puzzler which puts its own spin on an aging genre, this is definitely one you need. You'll match different coloured bubbles and watch them pop and shrink as you solve the levels. It really is neat, so be sure to check it out.
