Wish Upon A Cat
Available on: iOS + Android
Okay, so this technically didn’t just launch this week (it was last week, okay?), but it’s so darn lovely that I just had to give it the feature it deserves. If you’ve been following our coverage of this charming point-and-click puzzler, you’d have already seen my review (in which I gave it full marks), but just in case you haven’t, Wish Upon A Cat is basically a short-but-sweet adventure where you set off on a multiversal quest to chase down a cat.
Things get complicated when the mission just so happens to be on the same day your BFF is celebrating her birthday – the problem is that you’ve just had a fight, and you’re not exactly on speaking terms. How do you patch things up and save the world at the same time?

CookieRun: Crumble
Available on: iOS + Android
This cookie-coated idle RPG is the talk of the town (or, at least, the talk of the team over here at our hypothetical PG Towers) right now, and for good reason! CookieRun: Crumble sees you working hard to earn some money because you just so happen to damage the castle walls while you’re doing your daily kingdom duties, and it’s a hilarious and lovable take on the Cookie Run franchise in a new format.
Now, it may be an AFK idler, but that doesn’t mean it’s not got any completed bits and bobs! We’ll bring you tier lists, codes, resource guides, pet lists and more in the coming days, so stay tuned!

Case Solved: The London Files
Available on: iOS + Android
I feel like I’ve raved on and on about the beauty of point-and-clicks too much lately, but here’s another one to add to the list! Case Solved: The London Files will have you super-sleuthing your way across London to decipher clues in a cosy noir setting, and with cute paper cutout-esque visuals to boot.
The puzzles are supposed to boast proper logic and clever reasoning rather than trial and error, so if you’ve been looking to sharpen your detective skills, now’s your chance. I’ve got a review for this coming up soon too!

Harvest Moon: Skytree Village
Publisher: Natsume
Available on: iOS + Android
I’ll add these two together as they were launched at the same time this week, and if you’ve always been a fan of the Harvest Moon franchise, you’ll be happy to know that these 3DS originals can now be played on your phone.
They’re essentially both life-slash-farming sims where you raise animals, farm crops, and develop relationships with the locals, with a healthy sprinkling of decorative tasks peppered throughout each one. Best of all is that they’ll both contain their own DLCs in this mobile version too, so I’d say that’s worth the $9.99 price tag for each.

Some of You May Die
Available on: iOS + Android
And because we haven’t had any pixel art in this week’s list yet, I’m adding Some of You May Die to the lineup (and also because the title sounds sool). This roguelike autobattler lets you assemble your squad, strategise the best stats and abilities for your heroes, and duke it out on the battlefield either in single-player or in PvP.
It’s also a premium purchase at $4.99 a pop, so if you’ve got micro-transaction fatigue, then this self-contained premium experience might just be your cup of tea.
