Here are five favorites TIME rounded up this week. **Goat Simulator GoatZ** The day has finally arrived — there’s now a higher form of _Goat Simulator_ available. The GTA-style animal game that captivated audiences has been given an expansion pack. In this version, you can create actual objects, and there are zombies absolutely everywhere. You can unlock new goats with new goat magic powers, because why not. [_Goat Simulator GoatZ is $4.99 in the App Store_](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id968999008?mt=8 "undefined") **MARVEL Future Fight** Released alongside _Avengers: Age of Ultron,_ _Future Fight_ lets you don the costumes of your favorite heroes to do battle with Marvel baddies. You can select your favorite heroes, from the more obscure to the most famous, and upgrade them and their abilities as you clobber enemies. [_MARVEL Future Fight is free in the App Store_](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id955705796?mt=8 "undefined") **Lifeline…** For those who saw and loved _Big_ with Tom Hanks, you may remember the weird text-based RPG game he’s playing throughout the film. Lifeline… is shockingly similar. You’ve crash-landed on the moon with limited communication. Use text to jump through points in the story’s timeline, or to interact with others, and solve your problems and save yourself. [_Lifeline… is $2.99 in the App Store_](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id982354972?mt=8 "undefined") **Skatelander** If you combine _Temple Run_ and _Crossy Road_, you get _Skatelander_. It’s a blocky-style neo-arcade runner game in which you skate your way across a series of maps, dodging obstacles, getting powerups, and eventually upgrading your abilities and characters. Overall, it’s a lot of fun to look at, and the animation has an endearing retro quality without losing the flash of an iPhone game. [_Skatelander is free in the App Store_](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id970368198?mt=8 "undefined") **Catch The Rabbit** It’s hard to tell if this game has a real end, or if it’s just an endless runner with the illusion of a goal. Nevertheless, it’s a lot of fun to play. Essentially, you need to chase down an evil rabbit and hop from platform to platform until you get him. The hopping takes a lot of getting used to—it’s difficult to hit lower platforms without overshooting, but that’s all part of the game. It looks a lot like a cleaned up Dreamcast game. [_Catch The Rabbit is free in the App Store_](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id979791806?mt=8 "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3854298/the-5-best-iphone-games-to-play-this-week/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3854298/the-5-best-iphone-games-to-play-this-week/"},"headline":"The 5 Best iPhone Games to Play This Week (12 May 2015)","datePublished":"2015-05-12T10:00:46.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:05:08.970Z","description":"Goat Simulator and Marvel Future Flight are our favorite iPhone games of the week","url":"https://time.com/3854298/the-5-best-iphone-games-to-play-this-week/","keywords":["Tech","apps"],"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/3854298/the-5-best-iphone-games-to-play-this-week/","name":"The 5 Best iPhone Games to Play This Week (12 May 2015)"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"MS-DOS Videogames Get A New Home on Internet Archive","description":"The Internet Archive, known for its Wayback Machine, has added more than 2,300 MS-DOS videogames that are playable in your computer’s browser.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/vHKa2nE4/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-01-07T17:58:43.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/vHKa2nE4.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3854298/the-5-best-iphone-games-to-play-this-week/","duration":"PT1M22S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3854298/the-5-best-iphone-games-to-play-this-week/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
