This is a pretty puzzler in which you unscramble blocks locked up in tight formations in order to match their colours.

Twilight's Last Gleaming
By HexWar Games - £7.99 / $9.99 Twilight's Last Gleaming

Taking us back to 1812 when the US and the British were at war, this historical strategy game takes place on a hex-based map. It's also the sequel to Rebels and Redcoats.

Pixel Heroes: Byte & Magic
By Headup Games - £4.99 / $6.99 Pixel Heroes: Byte & Magic

All ancient cults and pixelated dungeons, Pixel Heroes is a roguelike with permadeath this, and procedurally generated that. High replayability is abound, presumably.

It's not Robot Wars but this might be something better. You get to build your own robot and then fight against other robots, tearing off mechanical limbs and smashing their circuitry.

Spring Ninja
By Ketchapp - Free Spring Ninja

You're a fat ninja who has springs on his feet. With them, he can jump high into the air. The problem is controlling the bloated blighter.

Doh! We created a sentient machine and now it's destroying Earth. You are an astronaut running away from it in hopes of escaping the planet. Luckily, you have some gadgets up your air-tight sleeve.

This looks like a football version of Clash of Clans. It might be. You build your own stadium, collect cards to fill out your team, and then play friends in real-time matches to win trophies.
