Welcome back to another edition of the Mobile Game Highlights. We’ve got five new titles that are ripe for downloading, so let’s get started!

Pokémon Shuffle (The Pokémon Company, free-to-play, available for iOS and Google Play)

 

After debuting on the Nintendo 3DS a little while ago (as its first free-to-play title), Pokémon Shuffle has finally made its way to mobile devices. Players will attempt to capture hundreds of unique Pokémon characters through traditional match-three battles, while at the same time exploring amazing new locales. The game does require in-game purchases from time-to-time, particularly with upgrades to equipment, but it’s still worth a try for those who just gotta catch em’ all.

Don’t Starve: Pocket Edition (Klei Entertainment, $4.99, available for iOS)

The independent darling Don’t Starve has been making the rounds on consoles for several months now, and Klei has finally brought the experience to mobile with the Pocket Edition. In Starve, you portray Wilson, a scientist forced to survive in the deep wilderness by using the environment to his advantage, whether it’s keeping his health from dwindling or facing off against sinister forces that may show up. The game definitely requires a great deal of thought, but it’s good fun for those who prefer a bit of scientific strategy.

Plum’s Creaturizer (PBS Kids, free-to-play, available for iOS)

Parents that are looking for an experience that will bring out the creative side of their children will want to check out PBS’ Plum’s Creaturizer. In it, players can build up to a billion different creations, using over 100 different unique parts. From there, they can take their creatures anywhere in the outdoors and take pictures with them, adding to the fun! There are also photo missions available, daring young players to take particular shots with their new creations. It’s a unique and enjoyable experience that everyone can enjoy.

Unkilled (Madfinger Games, free-to-play, available for iOS and Google Play)

Fans that can’t get enough of killing zombies in video games will love Unkilled, an adventure that puts them right into the heart of New York City, where a plague of the undead has emerged. As a member of the military-driven Wolfpack, it’s up to players to save the day, using a variety of weapons that are available. With beautiful visuals and non-stop action, Unkilled promises to change the zombie game as most players know it — even if some secondary purchases may be required to get the most out of the game.

Power Ping Pong (Chillingo, $3.99, available for iOS and Android)

 

Players have experienced the classic Ping-Pong game before, but Chillingo provides a new spin on the game that makes it much more exciting with Power Ping Pong. In it, players will face off against a number of adversaries while mastering a number of amazing trick shots, and unlocking a horde of new paddles and opponents to face off against. With a sweet arcade style gameplay system and plenty of challenges, this one will challenge even the most zen-like of Ping-Pong masters!
