Best new iOS and Android games of the week: April 23
Kicks, cats, and alien attacks
Are you after a round-up of the best and most interesting games to have hit the App Store and Google Play Store over the past seven days? You are? Well then, you're in luck.
It's not a classic week by any means, but there's plenty of fun to be had provided you're not looking for anything with masses of depth.
Have you been playing anything different this week? Let us know in the comments below.
Get Me Outta HereBy Crescent Moon Games - download on iOS
It might look like a mindless arcade blaster, but Get Me Outta Here is actually a surprisingly complex action game. In particular, there's an interesting swipe-based control system and a challenging learning curve to contend with here.
Marvel's Guardians of the GalaxyBy Telltale - buy on iOS / buy on Android
Join Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket, Drax, and Groot in another entertaining Telltale adventure. A top-notch soundtrack and voice acting make up for some iffy performance and pacing in this promising opening episode.
CATS: Crash Arena Turbo StarsBy ZeptoLab - download on iOS / download on Android
Like a game of Robot Wars, but with added cute cats, Crash Arena Turbo Stars (geddit?) has you building combat cars and sending them into automated battle. It's a little dumb, but kind of fun.
InvertBy Noodlecake Studios - buy on iOS
You know the score with Invert if you've ever played Reversi, Othello, or Go. Flip all the tiles to your colour. Simple. Of course, things get very tough when you have to solve variously shaped grids in a limited number of moves.
Real Boxing Manny PacquiaoBy Vivid Games - download on iOS / download on Android
Don't worry about the Manny Pacquiao branding. All you really need to know is that this is Real Boxing 3, which means another slice of tactical pugilism. Screen mashers are cruising for bruising.
Nonstop Chuck NorrisBy Flaregames - download on iOS / download on Android
Nonstop Chuck Norris is essentially a re-skinned version of Nonstop Knight. But hey, we liked Nonstop Knight a lot - and that didn't even have the ginger ninja in it.
