Offering five twists on its track-switching gameplay, Train Conductor 2: USA provides a quick and varied time management fix.

Hero Academy is light on strategy, but provides smooth pick-up-and-play fun.

Saving Private Sheep 2 is a smart physics-puzzler in a familiar outfit.

Physics-puzzlers are hardly in short supply on the App Store, but Fish Hooks offers enough entertainment to justify your attention - the top-notch presentation and absence of a price tag certainly help, too.

An absolutely gorgeous game, Wonderputt is let down by its clunky controls and a distinct lack of content.
