Here are five new iPhone and iPad games tested this week. As ever, (Free + IAP) means the app is freemium and uses in-app purchases.
RockOn - A SongPop Adventure (Free + IAP, iPhone/iPad)
Remember when name-that-tune game SongPop was a mobile and Facebook craze? Now its developer has returned with Rock On, which applies similar ideas to the history of rock music. Test your ability to quickly identify clips from the Beatles, Queen, Lynyrd Skynyrd and more, while comparing your progress to friends.
Marvel Mighty Heroes (Free + IAP, iPhone/iPad)
Free-to-play action here from DeNA - the firm that's working with Nintendo on that company's first mobile games - and an all-action Marvel game. All the familiar Marvel superheroes are present and correct, as are four-player co-operative battles.
The Quest Keeper (Free + IAP, iPhone/iPad)
Like Crossy Road meets a traditional dungeon-crawler, in short, as you swipe your hero through a dungeon packed with monsters, traps and treasure. And while its inspirations are clear, it's very good fun.
Gunpowder (IAP, iPad)
Physics-puzzlers are common on the App Store, but this one stands out from the crowd - and not just because it has the biggest bangs. It sees you stringing together increasingly-complex contraptions to blow up loot across 125 levels, with a neat dash of humour along the way.
DuckTales: Remastered (iPhone/iPad)
A faithful port of the DuckTales game that came out for Nintendo's NES console in 1989. It stars Scrooge McDuck - yes, he'd probably raise an eyebrow at the price - as he explores a side-scrolling platform world to find five treasures. Still good fun after all these years.
