Here are five favorites TIME rounded up this week. Enjoy! ### Evoland  Evoland Evoland At first, _Evoland_ feels like an overhead-view 8-bit GameBoy title. But as you progress, the graphics become more advanced until you find yourself playing a very modern-looking game. Navigate a world that feels an awful lot like early _Zelda_ games; _Evoland_ is all about battles, bosses, weapons, and working your way through difficult maps. [_Evoland_](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id946477821?mt=8 "undefined") _is available for $4.99 in the App Store_ ### ZigZag  ZigZag ZigZag _ZigZag_ is part arcade game, part puzzle. It’s a test of endurance, patience, and whether you can keep yourself from throwing your phone across the room after losing. The goal is to guide a ball down an obstacle course by tapping your screen. Sound easy? It’s not. The difficulty lies in keeping your ball from falling off the edges of the map. [_ZigZag_](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id951364656?mt=8 "undefined") _is free in the App Store_ ### Ramboat  Ramboat Ramboat _Ramboat_ is a marriage between puns and violence. Your character, based on the Sylvester Stallone classic _Rambo_, is in charge of an airboat that cruises through different maps while fighting enemies. Unlock new characters, vehicles, and weapons as you battle your way through various levels, working your way around obstacles and collecting powerups on the way. A good game for level-headed buttonmashers. [_Ramboat_](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id914893190?mt=8 "undefined") _is free in the App Store_ ### Sinking Feeling  Sinking Feeling When developers merge entertainment with inanity, their games are often gems. _Sinking Feeling_ definitely falls into that category. Control a little ball that falls from an endless ceiling while deciding to avoid glass panels or power through and shatter them. It’s so poorly designed that you can’t fault the graphics for their simplicity; instead, you’ll just love the game’s action. [_Sinking Feeling_](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id885916539?mt=8 "undefined") _is available for $0.99 in the App Store_ ### Clumsy Knight vs. Skeletons  Clumsy Knight vs. Skeletons A game for all the adults out there who still love children’s cartoons, _Clumsy Knight vs. Skeletons_ is an RPG tale of a knight clumsier than Don Quixote on a quest to destroy skeletons and save the world. Upgrade your armor, weapons, and abilities as you advance. The storyline is endearing, the animation charming, and the gameplay a lot of fun. [_Clumsy Knight vs. Skeletons_](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id958459966?mt=8 "undefined") _is free in the App Store_ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3700787/iphone-games-evoland/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3700787/iphone-games-evoland/"},"headline":"The 5 Best iPhone Games to Play This Week","datePublished":"2015-02-09T14:15:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T04:45:13.975Z","description":"Try Evoland, with graphics that evolve as you defeat your enemies.","url":"https://time.com/3700787/iphone-games-evoland/","keywords":["Tech","Apple","Games","apps","iPhone","iOS","Apple Store"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alexander Aciman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/alexander-aciman/"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-tech/","name":"Tech"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3700787/iphone-games-evoland/","name":"The 5 Best iPhone Games to Play This Week"}}]}] ```
