Also out at midnight: Nobody Said It Was Easy, Ammo Pigs, and more
Thanks to time zones and spinning planets, we can get an early sneak peek of tonight's new iOS games by poking around the New Zealand App Store. Check the front page for the biggest games, or read on for the best of the rest. Nobody Said It Was Easy
By Joseph Rothenberg - Free Nobody Said It Was Easy

There's no shortage of retro-inspired platformers these days. Hence, Nobody Said It Was Easy is easy to ignore. But look past its nostalgic visuals and you'll see that it finds unique puzzles in its tooth-grindingly difficult single screen levels. The catch here is that you're only able to walk forward.

This is what we get for enjoying bacon so much. In this throwback to DOS games of the early '90s, you play a highly evolved pig destroying slaughter machines with guns. You also get to save piglets that'll make you "awww."

Miles From Tomorrowland: Missions
By Disney - Free Miles From Tomorrowland: Missions

Miles and his best friend Merc (the robo-ostrich) have escaped the confines of Disney Junior. Well, not really. They are in a race to defrost a frozen rover, though. You need to help them dodge asteroids, hit turbo boosts, and collect space rocks.

ZigZag
By Ketchapp - Free ZigZag

Ketchapp's recent games have combined high-score chasing with social competition. ZigZag is no exception. You tap to change direction as you automatically drive through a winding Escher-esque speedway. Your goal? Try to avoid the chasm below.

Imagine crossing Ikaruga with Flappy Bird in pastel paints. The Hardest Flight has you guiding a vessel through colourful checkpoints. This challenge is increased by needing to change tones to match oncoming walls. If you don't then you're dead. Try to get as far as possible while multi-tasking tilt and touch controls.
