5 fresh mobile games to try this week – December 19, 2024

No one can resist the temptation of shiny things, especially persistent pirates obsessed with lots of loot. Tile Tales: Pirate will guide you in solving puzzles in charming low-poly graphics to get to the valuable treasure – the only problem is that you’re stranded on a seemingly deserted island, with danger lurking around every corner.

There are 90 handcrafted puzzles to solve by moving tiles to avoid obstacles and deadly traps. Explore the island and meet fascinating characters along the way, and you may even stumble upon the island’s greatest treasure if the swamp crocodiles and man-eating plants don’t get to you first.

If you feel you have what it takes to survive the deadly challenges of the popular Squid Game Show, now is your chance to put your money where your mouth is. In Netflix’s multiplayer battle, you’ll run, jump, dodge and escape your life in a variety of crazy competitions.

Of course, the iconic Red Light, Green Light competition will also be available. Are you brave – or lucky – to be the last player standing?

There is nothing more devastating than that still feeling of loss – knowing that life will never be the same when a loved one is gone. Pine: A Story of Loss aims to capture this sense of overwhelming loneliness by allowing you to step into the shoes of a carpenter who has just lost his wife.

The graphics, soundtrack, and point-and-click mechanics add to the melancholy as the days pass and the seasons change, but loss will always be present. How can you remain hopeful and find the strength to keep going?
