Mid-week iOS releases: Inferno+, Fruit Rush, Axon Runners, Heroes Call, and more
Newbies
Welcome back to Pocket Gamer's round-up of the latest iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad mid-week releases.
As you all probably know by now, we produce this article each week because we're simply too busy to bring you a story on every single new game that hits the App Store.
These games have recently hit Apple's New Zealand outlet, meaning they should be available to download in the UK and US from around midnight this evening.
iPhone Fortune Street SmartBy Square Enix - download for iPhone
Put simply, Fortune Street Smart is a board game.
Your aim in it is to amass more money than your opponents by buying and selling property; nabbing and flogging stocks; and keeping your fingers crossed that Lady Luck shines on you.

Taking on the role of a video game hero wannabe, you're tasked with slaying enemies, cracking witty-ish jokes, and winning the heart of the cute Princess Ceksie.

In Fruit Rush, you race against the clock to squish fruit and unleash its juicy goodness before berries, strawberries, and a range of other goodies tumble from a conveyer belt and become useless.
You do this by matching fruit across multiple game modes, such as Limited mode (which pits you against a two-minute time limit), and Endless mode (which is, of course, endless).

Expand It! is a physics-puzzler that's based on a popular Flash game that boasts more than 15 million players. It tasks you with tapping dinosaurs to inflate them and send them on their way towards a giant rainbow.
Naturally, each level has its own special solution, meaning you'll have to tap on dinosaurs in a specific order to progress any further.

Inferno+ is an improved and expanded version of the award-winning Xbox Live twin-stick action-RPG Inferno. In it, you blast your way through no fewer than 40 action-packed levels.
This title is said to be the love child of Gauntlet, Geometry Wars, and Steven Lisberger's classic Tron movie, so colour us excited.

This colourful arcade-style title charges you with flicking small disks at strange shapes called jaggies until they land in your opponent's zone.

In Axon Runners, you glide through a futuristic city on the back of one of ten special hover boards, collect orbs, blast obstacles out of your path, and pull off sick jumps.
All ten of the game's hover boards have their own unique attributes, which should help you complete the game's 15 levels and discover the mysteries of the Nightstream.
Heroes CallBy Defiant Development - download for iPhone and iPad
Heroes Call is the latest title from Defiant Development - the publisher of the Pocket Gamer Bronze Award-winning endless-runner Ski Safari.

TinyLegends - Crazy Knight throws you into the middle of a full-scale monster invasion. As you've probably guessed, your aim is to survive - namely, by using "wicked weapons" and "crushing combos".
You'll often find yourself facing 40 - yes, 40 - enemies at the same time.
