5 New Mobile Games to Try This Week – May 9, 2024

1

Yolky Untethered

Available on: iOS

Genre: Platform

Yolky Untethered

If you love a good egg pun, Yolky Unbound offers a good chunk of that and more, as you play a brave egg yolk on a mission to save your siblings from the perils of platforming. Not only have you been tasked to undertake this noble quest (by the king, no less), but you will also have to reunite your siblings with The Beloved Mother. It’s bad enough that the outside world is filled with spikes and missteps that can easily make you fall to your death – it’s even worse that you’re doing it all like an extremely fragile egg.

The game features charming visuals and physics-based puzzles, along with relaxing bossa nova beats, with 60 handcrafted levels and 4 chapters to beat.

Netflix Sonic Mania Plus

Now available on mobile thanks to Netflix, Sonic Mania Plus brings back all the nostalgia of the past using classic platform levels updated with modern twists. Join Sonic, Tails or Knuckles to save hapless little animals from Robotnik/Eggman while collecting those precious rings in the Green Hill Zone. You can also brave the changing platforms of the Chemical Plant Zone without drowning when the timer runs out.

Personally, I loved playing this game when it first launched – it definitely took me back to my carefree childhood days. If you want to immerse yourself in lots of retro vibes, this might be the perfect way to scratch the itch.

Video games have always put dice through the ringer. They are thrown around and thrown in every possible way to suit the player’s sadistic whims. This time you launch your hapless dice at enemies via a chaotic bullet hell shooter, just because you can.

In Dice Flight you build your dice fleet in up to 21 variants, with different dice containing a variety of projectiles that you can use to fight back against your enemies. Battles only last a minute, so you can enjoy all the dice-shooting action in short but exciting bursts.

A small chance of saw blades

If the weather forecast tells you that saw blades are coming, you really have no choice but to jump around and avoid them, because saw blades are coming and your argument is invalid. In this quirky little pixel art title, you’ll have to battle your way through a storm of saw blades as you try to beat your high score – and if you’re feeling a little more competitive, you can even try to take first place on the leaderboards to be crowned the ultimate survivor of the saw blade.

The game also features a variety of characters to unlock and some retro 8-bit music to lighten up the time constraints.
