It’s nice to finally see some movement in the number one slot over the weeks. This week the crown for the top selling game goes to Feed Me Oil, a brand new physics puzzler about managing oil spills and feeding giant creatures. The top grossing list sees less shuffling around this week, with just iMobsters making a comeback and landing in the number nine slot. See the rest of both lists below, along with links to the App Store and our reviews.

#9: iMobsters
Most helpful iTunes review: “Oh look, it’s the same five tabs with a different picture and name, same annoying people pushing their codes in your face. And did I mention that this game requires no skill and no brains?”
#9: Zombie Farm
Most useful iTunes review: “Every time I finish invading the app crashes and I don’t receive any money, brains, loot, powers, or credit but I still have to wait 2 hours to invade again?”

Our Score: 2/4
Our Bottom Line: The Smurfs’ Village doesn’t offer much gameplay beyond building a Smurf enclave and some middling minigames. But for a casual distraction, you could do worse.
