The Apple Arcade catalog continues to grow with five new games for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV available today.

Inmost, an atmospheric, story-driven platformer from the creators of Stardew Valley, is one of the highlights. It helps takes the total number of Apple Arcade games for iOS and tvOS to 80.

Apple Arcade has already proven to be great value for money. At just $4.99 a month for up to six family members, it offers unlimited and ad-free access to more than 100 titles across Apple’s devices.

That’s more games than most of us will ever get the time to play, and just as Apple promised, more keep on coming. Here are the five new titles you’ll be able to enjoy over the weekend.

Arcade snags new games for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV

These titles are all playable on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.

Decoherence

A strategy game from Efecto Studios that lets you build your very own robot army. Use more than 50 components to create a killing machine, then plan the strategy that will lead your team to victory.

You can enjoy skirmish battles against friends and foes online or computer-controlled opponents, or you can face the Entropy Tribunals to see if you have what it takes to reach the top.

Inmost

A gorgeous, atmospheric, story-driven platform game from the makers of Wargroove, Stardew Valley, and more. You follow three playable characters within one dark, interconnecting story.

Scale the environment by sneaking past enemies, luring them into deadly traps, solving puzzles, and slicing down foes. And explore every inch of the world to find its secrets.

Mind Symphony

A stylish shoot-em-up from Rogue Games that offers unique gameplay that meshes with musical tracks. It promises an experience that will make you “feel better.”

It offers both a calm mode that lets you focus on the melodies, and fast-paced action in which the intensity increases as you build up your score. Apple Music subscribers will enjoy extra tracks.

ShockRods

A vehicle-based arena shooter from Stainless Games in which you battle it out in various game modes. Earn points by dealing damage to your opponents or completing different objectives.

It promises fast-paced mayhem, overpowered weapons, vehicle customizations, and more.

Stela

A cinematic platform game from SkyBox Labs about a young woman witnessing the final days of a mysterious ancient world. It’s full of satisfying puzzles, mesmerizing music, and awesome visuals.

Available today

All five titles are available now, and they launch just a day after Apple Arcade picked up two new games — Pilgrims and Shantae and the Seven Sirens — for Mac.

You can enjoy a one-month free trial of Apple Arcade if you haven’t already subscribed. And it’s worth noting that many of these games come with controller support if you’re not a big fan of touch controls.
