Top new iOS and Android games out this week - (December 21st)
Tropico, ROME: Total War, Lemmings, and more
Another day, another week, another list of fantastic new games to get through. With the likes of ROME: Total War, Tropico, Bendy and the Ink Machine, and more on the cards, we're getting spoilt this week.
I'm not surprised though since it's the last week of releases (more or less) until 2019. Well, that and it's Christmas next week which means we'll all be getting rather merry in more ways than one. Hurrah!
There's a cracking mix of genres and prices today, so let's take a look and see if anything jumps out at you, eh?

Snake Maze

Heroes of Flatlandia

Lemmings
After a lengthy ol' soft launch, Lemmings has just dropped like a hot potato. Take on the wonders of the universe and help your little Lemmings see another day by guiding them through all sorts of hazardous levels.

Bendy and the Ink Machine

Where there are some spooky games in this week's selection, there's also this delightfully colourful puzzler. Race against the clock to deliver passengers to their dedicated floors and become the Lifty King. Okay, it's not totally wholesome - if you don't get passengers to their floors in time they explode in a fit of colourful viscera. Ahh.
