Done with Candy Crush and looking for a new iPhone game for your commute to work or lunch break at school? TIME rounded up some favorites from this week that are worth a download.
Enterchained

For almost 15 years, countless video games have aimed to fill the cultural niche created by the Russell Crowe movie that helped pioneer fast-cut fight sequences, Gladiator. Now, a slightly more PG and much more endearing gladiator arena game has emerged. Enterchained brings simple animation and countless unlockable battle items to your iPhone.
Enterchained is available for $0.99 in the App Store.
Ghostbusters Pinball

Taking us back 30 years to when Ghostbusters was first released and to a time when movie-themed pinball machines dominated arcades, Ghostbusters Pinball is a hypnotic way to spend a few minutes. Obstacles in three dimensions, characters from the series, and different levels contained in a single map allow this app take advantage of the iPhone by invoking a charming, Ghostbusters universe without losing the authenticity of a real pinball game. Gameplay is run on tokens, and the app doles out 4 free tokens a day.
Ghostbusters Pinball is available free in the App Store
Mmm Fingers

A reverse Hungry Hungry Hippos with graphics reminiscent of Plants vs. Zombies, Mmm Fingers is about keeping your finger safe. The goal is to navigate an increasingly dangerous field of monsters and traps without lifting your finger off the screen or colliding with obstacles. It’s a great game for quick breaks and short idle moments, and can even be played against friends.
Mmm Fingers is available free in the App Store
Felllice

A black and white game about cell growth, Felllice is the endearingly downsized story of natural selection. Players start out as a cell, and grow by eating weaker, smaller-celled organisms. Similarly, players must avoid being eaten by larger organisms also fighting for their place in the world. Part of the fun is watching the environment and other cells interact with itself as your cell develops, grows, evolves and assimilates into an increasingly complicated organism.
Felllice is available for $0.99 in the App Store
Super Mashteroids

Super Mastheroids follows a trend of bringing back 8-bit style games to advanced devices. Part Asteroids, part Space Invaders, the game intentionally brings together elements of celebrated 80s arcade games to create a new experience on your iPhone. Fly through a slightly tidied up version of retro space in a starship cruiser destroying asteroids and enemies, earning power ups and zooming to the next stage.
Super Mashteroids is available free in the App Store
