Discovery’, ‘Divide by Sheep 2’, ‘iDOS 3’ and more – TouchArcade

New mobile games hit the App Store every day, so every week we put together a big ol’ list of the best new releases from the past seven days. Back in the day, the App Store would show the same games for a week, with feature updates every Thursday. As a result, developers got used to releasing their games on Wednesdays or very early Thursdays in the hopes of snagging one of those coveted features. These days, the App Store is constantly updating, so the need for everyone to release everything on the same day has diminished. We’ve still kept our weekly Wednesday night format, though, because for years, that’s when people knew to check TouchArcade for its slate of new games. So, without further ado, check out the full list of this week’s new games below and let us know in the comments which games you’ll be buying!
