Looking for something fresh to play? Here are a few of our faves.

‣ Slip on the flippers of a brave undersea fisherman in this picture-perfect mobile version of the 2023 hit. Start by heading below the waves to harpoon tuna, mackerel, and fearsome great white sharks, then serve ’em up to hungry customers at your buddy’s bustling sushi restaurant. Quick tip: Prioritize crafting the Hush Dart; tranquilized catch stays super-fresh, guaranteeing three-star meat—and a bigger payday!

‣ In this sweet indie game’s turn-based skirmishes, set a path, fling your hero, and watch them smash into cannon-toting crabs and blade-wielding apes. We love the slick physics, which introduce fun strategies as you pinball around each level. Bank shot off a boulder for the win!

‣ What kind of virtual life would you like to lead—and what legacy will you leave behind? Guide a promising (or mischievous) character from toddlerhood through old age in this beautifully streamlined life sim, where every choice you make can have a lasting impact. We love the simplicity—swiping left or right to make a decision—but watch out: Life has a way of throwing curveballs...

‣ One goblin’s trash is another goblin’s treasure in this cozy shopkeeping game. Chiseling away at blocky hunks of junk and scrubbing the scum off various trinkets is deeply satisfying. We especially enjoy chatting with the oddball customers, like the lizard person who’s a fanatical collector of bedpans.

‣ Fans of the Mouse House will enjoy platforming through locations inspired by Disney Parks (the Matterhorn! New Orleans Square!) in this beautifully polished remake of the 2010 original. Restoring lost objects with a magical paintbrush is a cool mechanic, but we’re partial to the paint thinner, which can reveal all sorts of secret goodies. You never know what treasures you’ll find behind an innocuous wall.
