Pirates and over-the-top weapons are the name of the game in Rocket Riot, an action-packed arcade game. Gorgeous (and destructible) 3D pixel worlds, insane power-ups that transform your rockets into incredible tools of devastation, a surprising range of objectives (rocket-riddled football, anyone?), and controls as precise as they are intuitive make Rocket Riot a game not to miss.

The addictive action-puzzler Ninja Throw tests your shuriken-tossing skills. Outflank environmental obstacles, use air-bending Sensei magic, and safely guide your trusty ninja star to the goal in as few throws as possible. If you love ninjas — and, really, who doesn’t? — you’ll have a blast with Ninja Throw.

Both Rocket Riot and Ninja Throw and available now on the App Store for iPhone/iPod touch and iPad.

Last week, Chillingo brought you the madcap Moogies and the innovative Poker Pals. A hit with the press, Poker Pals racked up some incredible reviews, praising its clever riff on the poker genre. Check out this nod from TouchArcade:

Poker Pals delivers a fun interpretation of poker, with desirable asynchronous play and random match-ups for people without many online friends. It has a high replay value and should come with a warning about time-consumption, due to the constant, but pleasurable interruptions when it’s your turn.

The Moogies is also wowing critics with its endearing silliness. It’s a perfect app for entire families to gather around, touching and talking to the crazy Moogies to see what happens next. Family Friendly Gaming says this about The Moogies:

The sounds in The Moogies are where this app shines. The Moogies includes quite a bit of humor. Children in the target age bracket enjoy it.
