New iOS and Android games out this week - June 8
Monument Valley 2, Mushroom Heroes, Fancy Cats Solitaire and more
How's your June going so far? If you're here in the UK with us, it's been a bit of a damp squib.
Still, if the prospect of heading out into the wind and the rain to vote on your country's future isn't filling you Brits with joy, why not consider loading up a couple of new mobile games on your phone for the journey? I'm sure Jeremy and Theresa are doing the same.
And our fellow pocket gamers in other countries? Well, don't worry about all that political nonsense. Just play some of these games.
There's one iOS game that dominates this week, which has left the rest of the roster looking understandably spartan. But here are some games to consider.
Monument Valley 2By ustwo - buy on iOS
We don't ordinarily offer a conclusive endorsement on this bit, but Monument Valley 2 is no ordinary game. It's a beautiful, thoughtful, tactile revelation of a thing. Buy it.
Mushroom HeroesBy Serkan Bakar - buy on iOS / download on Android
There are plenty of puzzle platformers with retro visuals on mobile, but Mushroom Heroes throws in the ability to switch between three heroes, each with a different ability.
Super Nano JumpersXigma Games - download on iOS
Eloquently described as a "hard as nails retro platformer," Super Nano Jumpers looks to be the kind of blood pressure-troubling autorunner we can get onboard with.
Dead Plague: Zombie OutbreakBy GameSpire - download on iOS / download on Android
Monument Valley 2 just too pretty and contemplative for you? Dead Plague: Zombie Outbreak might be able to supply your zombie-shooting fix.
Simple KnightsBy Madcat Games - download on iOS / download on Android
It's another idle/clicker game - but with a cutesy Final Fantasy-meets-Minecraft art style and some JRPG trimmings.
Farming Simulator 18By Giants Software - buy on iOS / buy on Android
Farming Simulator 18 (18!) lets you tootle around in a variety of farmyard machinery, harvesting crops, maintaining livestock, selling your product to market, and generally living life in the fast lane.
GX MonstersBy FunGeneration - download on iOS / download on Android
This one looks to be another of those casual side-on multiplayer racers - but with a bit of a Mad Max flavour.
Fancy Cats SolitaireBy Genix Lab - download on iOS / download on Android
Cats playing cards seems to be a thing now (see also Shuffle Cats), so here's one for all you Solitaire-playing feline fans. We know you're out there.
Space Colonizers Idle ClickerBy CapPlay - download on iOS / download on Android
An attractive clicker with a colourful sci-fi theme.
