Mid-week iOS releases: Six Guns, Batman Arkham City Lockdown, Mini Motor Racing, Home Sheep Home 2, and more

Welcome back to Pocket Gamer's round-up of the latest iPhone and iPad mid-week releases.

As you all probably know by now, we produce this article because we're simply too busy to bring you a story on every single new mid-week release.

These games have recently hit the New Zealand App Store, meaning they should be available to download in the UK and US from around midnight this evening.

According to Mini Motor Racing's App Store description, the colourful racer "plays like a favorite remote-controlled car showdown", but allows you to take advantage of nitrous and vehicle upgrades.

If you get bored with the game's Campaign mode, you can jump into a multiplayer bout and race against up to three of your friends over both wi-fi and Bluetooth.

Gameloft's Six Guns may look like a clone of Red Dead Redemption, but its werewolves, witches, and laser guns set it apart from the popular console title. Oh, and it's available to download completely free of charge. Did we mention that?

Be sure to check out our hands-on while you wait for the game's protagonist, Buck Crosshaw (we know), to gallop into App Stores around the world.

We weren't expecting this one, either. Anyway, the Infinity Blade-esque comic-adventure sees you take on the role of The Caped Crusader and beat the stuffing out of the franchise's most famous villains.

You can upgrade Batman's arsenal of weapons and gadgets as you progress through the game, and unlock "tons" of extra content".

Are you familiar with Shaun the Sheep? In Home Sheep Home 2, Aardman's famous ovine creation and his woolly friends Timmy and Shirley attempt to make their way back home across 40 levels.

Each of the game's three sheep has its very own special ability, which you'll have to utilise if you wish to successfully negotiate underground caverns, busy streets, and more.

If you've ever had the urge to create a colourful fantasy village chocked to the rafters with dwarves, fairies, and other magical creatures, Gameloft's Fantasy Town might be right up your street.

This build-'em-up, rather obviously, allows you to do all of the above, battle dark beasts in a mini-game, and play and trade with your Facebook buddies.

Stretched sounds pretty simple: launch a ball through four unique worlds (comprising 84 stages) and earn stars by popping bubbles en route to the exit.

Naturally enough, Chillingo's physics-based puzzler gets harder and harder, the further you progress. Thankfully, you have a range of helpful gadgets to aid you on your journey.

If you haven't already guessed from the screenshot below, Fruit Tumble is one of those match-three games. This time around, you have to match three of the same-coloured fruit in order to knock them off a vine.

You do this by dragging a series of monkeys - each with a differently coloured fruit - down to the vine in question.

Chillingo's Let Me Out tasks you with firing a small dragon through 100 "brain-boggling" levels and five worlds. Why? To help him escape from a mysterious book that has imprisoned him, of course.

Each of the game's stages houses warping portals, spin-altering cyclones, and other tricky extras.
