Mobile Games Out This Week: 9/12/16

We spend all week scrounging around for cool new iOS and Android game releases. Then, every Friday, we put together a list of them to share with you. How awesome is that?

Hint: it’s pretty awesome.

Just so you know, it’s not an exhaustive list. Rather, it covers the games that most stand out to us. Enjoy this week’s games!

Top Pick: Symmetria

Symmetria: Path to Perfection is beautiful and relaxing in its simplicity. Find a comfy spot, enjoy the mellow music, and create the symmetrical match for each puzzle as fast as you can. It's a slow build-up, but later puzzles are a nightmare (in a good way). The ads are a touch heavy-handed, but there’s a premium option that removes them and adds even more content.

Get symmetrical now on iOS and Android.

Bully: Anniversary Edition

It’s time to relive Rockstar’s Bully on mobile! Assume the identity of 15-year old Jimmy Hopkins and help him make his way through school. Bully: Anniversary Edition includes the complete story, along with extra missions, characters, and mini-games.

Strap on your backpack and head back to school on iOS.

Silent Depth: Submarine Simulation

Become a US submarine crew member and explore the Pacific Ocean during World War II. Silent Depth features realistic damage, day/night cycles, changing weather conditions, and more. It's pricey, but it looks like there's good reason for that, and the developers have promised free updates for the lifetime of the game.

Step into your own submarine (and try not to drown) on iOS.

Conduct THIS!

Conduct THIS! is all about guiding trains through increasingly complex maps without making anything explode. It's a puzzle game at heart, but the action occurs in real-time and it quickly becomes chaotic as you struggle to avoid vehicles, other trains, and your own clumsy fingers.

Don your conductor hat on iOS or Android.

Pianista

I give this a 6 in my upcoming review, but the gameplay is easily a 9. It’s smooth, well-synced, and addicting. Sadly, it’s plagued by terribly designed IAP. It’s still worth jumping into until the expensive songs and timers get you down though, even if you’re not a classical music fan.

Play it now on iOS, or wait until 2017 for the Android release.

Waiit

This super minimalistic puzzle game puts you in charge of two errant blocks. All you have to do is push them through their respective gates in a certain number of moves. It sounds easy enough, but there’s a catch: every move you make moves both of them. I’m awful at games like this, but there’s a lot of fun to be had for people that aren’t.

Give it a try on iOS.

ROCKY

Diehard fans, rejoice! Step into the ring with iconic characters from the Rocky movies movies, build your gym, recruit more fighters, and then go head-to-head against other players around the globe.

Strap on your gloves and get ready to rumble on iOS.
