10 of Today’s New iPhone and iPad Games You Should Know About

New games with big franchises, great mobile developers, and pandas? It must be Thursday.

Star Wars meets Clash of Clans, but with a twist: you’ll have to pick between the Rebel Alliance or the Empire, with units specific to each.

Ninja Ninja Ninja

A new game from Retro Dreamer just snuck it’s way onto the App Store. Why should you care? Because these are the folks who also made Velocispider and Duckers.

Spooklands

A self-proclaimed “one-finger shooter”, this looks like a creepy good time. You’ll shoot in the direction you’re tapping, and your character will be pushed back in the opposite direction with every shot.

Swing Copters

The latest game from Flappy Bird creator Dong Nguyen. My high score is 1.

Pac-Man Friends

When the screens first appeared, we had no idea what Pac-Man Friends could be. We’ve played it since, and we can give you a very simple breakdown: tilt your device to guide Pac-Man and friends through stages, with different friends having unique quirks. Kind of neat!

Panda Pandamonium

Looking for a new take on mahjong? The team behind Drawn: The Painted Tower and Fetch tackled this one for Big Fish Games. A strange pedigree for a mahjong game to be sure, but come on… you’re intrigued.

Deep Under the Sky

The latest game from Incredipede creator Colin Northway looks super duper zen. Like… flOw zen. I suppose we’ll have to play it to find out.

BoxPop

A brand new puzzle game based on the knight’s tour – a classic chess puzzle. And did we mention it’s from the creators of SongPop?

Wish you had another game like Kairosoft’s great Grand Prix Story? Maybe this will scratch your itch.

Jim Squires is the Editor-in-Chief of Gamezebo. Everything you see passes his eyes first, so we like to think of him as "the gatekeeper of cool stuff." He likes good games, great writing, and just can't say no to a hamburger. Also, he is not a bear.
