iOS

Welcome back to Pocket Gamer's round-up of the latest iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad mid-week releases.

As you all probably know by now, we produce this article each week because we're simply too busy to bring you a story on every single new game that hits the App Store.

These games have recently hit Apple's New Zealand outlet, meaning they should be available to download in the UK and US from around midnight this evening.

iPhone and iPad Chubby Bunny
By No Monkeys - buy for iPhone

Chubby Bunny is a puzzle title that charges you with aiding a small fluffy rabbit as he makes his way across "dozens of levels" to nab some tasty carrots.

No, it's not that easy: each of the game's stages is split into small squares, which disappear from under your feet when you remove a carrot.

In other words, you have to plan your route carefully if you wish to grab the orange veggies and unlock the Game Center achievements on offer.

Fix-it-up 80s: Meet Kate's Parents
By G5 - download for iPhone or download for iPad

In Fix-it-up 80s: Meet Kate's Parents, you take on the role of the parents of series protagonist Kate, and learn how her family got started in the car repair business.

This time around, you're tasked with buying, fixing, and selling ten different types of cars across 45 levels and seven unique locations.

You can't handle this workload on your own, though, so you have to recruit and train employees to help you along the way.

Universal Madcoaster
By Chillingo - buy for iPhone and iPad

Madcoaster is a fast-paced title in which you try to prevent a roller coaster full of excited punters from plummeting to their colourful deaths.

You do this by successfully landing jumps and avoiding obstacles in various hazard-filled stages, which are spread across the Arctic, a rainforest, and other exotic locations.

If you complete the objectives you're set throughout the game, you can upgrade your coaster to improve its performance.

Swordigo
By Touch Foo - buy for iPhone and iPad

Swordigo is a side-scrolling platformer that takes place in a mystical world full of dangerous dungeons, welcoming towns, and shiny treasures. Oh, and a ton of enemies.

Your mission is to travel through the game's world and battle the threatening foes that inhabit it. You can use the experience you earn through fighting to level-up your character and utilise new and powerful weapons, items, and spells.

Swordigo features support for both Game Center and iCloud. Logged into the latter online service, you can start a game on one device and continue on another without losing your progress.

Light The Flower
By Chillingo - buy for iPhone and iPad

Light The Flower is a new iPhone and iPad puzzler that features 60 challenging levels and one goal: wake up sleeping flowers.

To achieve this goal, you'll need to guide the light from each level's open window to the tired flora, using mirrors, torches, coloured lenses, and any other handy gadgets you can get your mitts on.

Each level houses three golden stars that you need to snag. Naturally, attempting to grab these makes things a darn sight trickier.

rComplex
By Interwave Studios - buy for iPhone and iPad

rComplex sees you pull on your best sprinting shoes and attempt to outrun "the darkness" that is hot on your tail. Unfortunately for you, the game's environments are littered with annoying obstacles.

While you're puffing, panting, and feverishly gripping your chest to try and catch your breath, you have to collect scattered clues that unlock and reveal more and more chapters of the game's story.
