New mobile games hit the App Store every day, so each week we’ll compile a throwback list of all the best new releases from the past seven days. In the past, the App Store would showcase the same games for a week and then update those features every Thursday. So developers have made a habit of releasing games early on Wednesdays or Thursdays in hopes of getting one of those coveted features. Today, the App Store is constantly refreshed, so the need for everyone to release on the same day has diminished. Nonetheless, we’ve maintained a weekly Wednesday night format, and for years people have been known to check TouchArcade for new game listings during this time. So without further ado, check out the full list of this week’s new games below and let us know which ones you’ll be picking up in the comments section!
Afterimage Phone ($3.99)
iTunes Description
A great god created the world called Engadine, leaving behind four Goliaths before she left. Goliaths obey their different divine callings and maintain the order and flow of this world. Thus, the life of the Engadine was reincarnated and multiplied.
Humans are the last of creation, and their ever-expanding ambitions lead to a protracted war with Goliath. The Engadine was engulfed in flames until a massive explosion known as the “Razing” destroyed humanity’s sacred site and quickly ended the conflict. But the sacred order is broken and life withers. The age of mankind has come to an end.

Lona: Kingdom of Color ($0.99)
iTunes Description
Lona: Kingdom of Color is a point-and-click nature adventure game that focuses on art and narrative rather than puzzles and dialogue. Each level is an abstraction of Lorna’s story, and you need to bring peace and balance to her paintings and find out what happened to her.
Each level has two sides: the chaotic side, represented by Ms. Schmidt the cat, and the dark side, represented by Mr. Ruppel the crow. You can switch between the two worlds at will and try to strike a balance between these extreme interpretations of a single situation. You can use items from both sides on the other side, and everything you do can affect both worlds. There will be 14 unique scenes in Lona’s memories and paintings, each with two sides.

Twin World Survivor ($2.99)
iTunes Description
In this age of profit-seeking, we find ourselves mired in the commercial game. However, over time we discovered that this wasn’t really what we wanted. Pay-to-win games, difficult designs that force payment, and seemingly futile efforts in the eyes of whale players…can these really bring happiness to players? The clear answer is no.
After much thought, we decided to go down the wrong path. Thus, this anti-“pay to win” game was born. We turn in-app purchases into gaming experiences. Players unlock features and all game content that usually require payment by cracking the game with hackers, defeating the coercive power of “pay and win” bosses, and ultimately helping game developers realize the meaning of true game design.
