New Game Release this week: Mobile gaming keeps getting new ideas every week. Some games are made for quick fun, while others bring bigger stories, fresh puzzle ideas or unusual ways to play. This week has a mix of puzzle, action and racing games, along with a few interesting new releases.
New Puzzle And Action Games
Shoe it All!
Shoe it All! is a physics puzzle game from Amberbite Games and Bright Gambit. It puts players in control of Lace, a rebellious teenager who uses a swing to throw shoes at different targets and obstacles.

The game has more than 65 handmade levels, and most puzzles can be solved in different ways. Players can try trick shots, create chain reactions and look for shortcuts. There are also hidden bonus levels, nearly 200 collectible stickers and a special Speedrun Mode for players who want to finish levels as fast as possible. The mobile version also has a try-before-you-buy option.
Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+
Animal and nature fans have another option with Art of Fauna: Cozy Puzzles+. Made by Klemens Strasser, the game turns wildlife artwork into relaxing puzzles.
Players move picture tiles around until the artwork is complete. Each puzzle also gives information about the animal shown, so the game is partly about learning too. Apple says the game won an App Store Award for Cultural Impact in 2025 and joined Apple Arcade on September 3, 2026. The Arcade version has no ads or in-app purchases.
Bloodless
Bloodless from Point N’ Sheep offers a very different kind of action game. Players take control of Tomoe, a ronin who has decided she won’t kill anyone.
Instead of defeating enemies with normal attacks, Tomoe uses counters and special ki skills to disarm them. The game has a retro 2D look and takes players through the world of Bakugawa. It also includes a roguelike mode called Namazu’s Wrath, along with mobile touch controls and controller support.

More Games Joining The Mobile Scene
Block Blast!+
The popular block puzzle game Block Blast! now has an Apple Arcade version called Block Blast!+. It was added to Apple Arcade on September 3, 2026.
The basic idea is easy. Players place blocks on a grid and clear rows and columns. The Arcade version removes ads and in-app purchases, giving players the same simple gameplay without interruptions. It was developed by Hungry Studio.
Shikacat: Logic Puzzle Game
Shikacat is a new puzzle title from Tripledot Studios. It uses the classic shikaku puzzle idea but adds colourful cats to make it more playful.
Players need to place cat blocks in the correct spaces while following the numbers shown on each board. The game has started its soft launch in selected markets and is available on iPhone and iPad.
Paws Out
Paws Out from Rollic is another cat-based puzzle game. Here, players move cats of different colours and lengths toward gates that match them.
The puzzles start off simple but get harder as players move through the levels. A timer also adds pressure, so players need to think and move quickly.
Nitelore
Nitelore is built for players who like speed. The anti-gravity racing game from solo developer Crabware takes players through neon cities, dangerous seas and even areas away from Earth.
Races include Grand Prix events and time attacks. Players can also customise and upgrade different vehicles.
White House Arcade
The White House Arcade has also appeared on the official White House website. It includes five games linked to the Trump administration’s political themes: Flappy Bill, Build The Wall, Rio Run, Supply Line and Trump Savings Tycoon. The website also lists another game as “Coming Soon.”
