We’ve got a varied list of free games for you to check out on the App Store this week, but none as intriguing as Clash & GO: AR Strategy, which (as you might have guessed from the name) takes some inspiration from Pokemon Go. But instead of catching Pokemon, the game tasks you with building a city and doing battle with AI enemies. It sounds like a nice change of pace with a fun AR twist, if you’re into that kind of thing.

Shooting Hoops

At the Benson Hill basketball court down on West 46th, the weather-beaten outdoor clock reads 12:59 pm. The date is August 18th, 1969. Nate “The Skate” Archibald swaggers onto the blacktop. Quiet whispers precede his inimitable court-side vernacular. “You fools playin’ checkers while I’m playin’ chess.”

Oh, sheeeeeeeeee.

Candy girls come running up the block. They claw the steel cage around the court, nose to fence, hoping to get a glimpse of something magical.

They do.

A Nerf gun strapped to a dusty orange rock bounces through Swiss cheese D. Count the bucket-and-one, suckah.

The Skate looks over his shoulder. “Ladies and gentleman, school is now in session.”

Shooting Hoops is like rediscovering how tasty-delicious macaroni and cheese is.

Elbow noodles and cancer-orange-powdered-cheese. Basketball and Nerf gun. Who would have thunk?

Shooting Hoops Features:

• One-tap and shoot mechanic
• Power ups
• Whacky physics
• Haptic feedback
• Tons of unlock-able balls (with different weights and gameplay) *
• That sweet, sweet tasty look and feel
• Gamecenter
• Achievements
• Multi-language support
• iMessages stickers
