Five new iOS pocket games to keep Apple fans tapping

There are few things in life as dependable as regular game releases for Apple’s super-popular phones and tablets. Here are five recent games for iOS that go beyond “surprisingly good” and venture into “Wow this is amazing!” territory.

Total Destruction

Free

What’s better than flinging birds at shoddily-constructed buildings in an attempt to dislodge smug-looking pigs? Setting bombs at various buildings’ weak points and letting physics do the rest, that’s what!

In Total Destruction, players must knock down 2D buildings made of wood by placing explosives wherever they believe will cause the most structural damage, with the goal of making them collapse completely, with all of their remaining bits falling below a pre-set height.

Gems are earned for successfully completing levels and bonus objectives, which can be spent on more powerful destructive tools.

It’s a simple yet addictive game that will have you tapping long into the night. A warning: don’t play this on the loo unless you like having pins and needles.

Punchy!

Free

Love a good cartoon brawl? Punchy! has your back. The premise is simple: punch your opponent into submission while blocking his attacks, but don’t be fooled, it takes a surprising amount of skill and co-ordination to pull off considering the simple one- and two-finger controls. Play on your own against AI boxers or against a friend in one-on-one battles.[symple_column size=”one_half”] [symple_box style=”boxsucces”] “Ding Ding! Fight!”[/symple_box] [/symple_column][symple_box style=”boxerror”] Download it from iTunes[/symple_box]

Lamp and Vamp

R29.99

This clever roguelike will challenge your strategic mind as you attempt to guide your little vampire to the castle of his dreams while dodging Slayers. The action is turn-based, but one wrong move early on and you could find yourself painted into a corner, so to speak! Use vampire powers wisely to get out of jams and your deductive brilliance to ensure you remain one step ahead of the humans who want you dead.
