New mobile games appear in the App Store every day, so every week we compile a big old list of the best new releases from the past seven days. Previously, the App Store would showcase the same games for a week and refresh those features every Thursday. That’s why developers have gotten into the habit of releasing their games all Wednesday or very early Thursday to hopefully get their hands on one of those coveted features. Today, the App Store is constantly refreshing, reducing the need for everyone to release everything on the same day. Still, we kept our weekly Wednesday night format, because for years people knew to check TouchArcade for the list of new games. And 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!

iTunes description

Bumler? With electricity? When was that ever good?

Impatient to get to the dance, the crew tries to end the simulation, only to discover that Cerritos’ computer has been hijacked by the rogue AI Badgey. He’s locked them in the holodeck and deactivated all security protocols – so now Boimler, Tendi, Rutherford, and Mariner must work out Star Trek stories, both familiar and new, so they can return to the real world. But be careful – if they don’t succeed, they will really die. And worse, they miss the party!
