TouchArcade's Weekly Update Roundup: Notable App Updates

Hello and welcome to another week's review of noteworthy app updates! This week, Shaun tackles a surprising number of free-to-play matching puzzle game updates. But fear not, there's plenty of other exciting news to cover, including Shaun's ongoing feud with King Robert (a highlight for us all!). For those who prefer to stay on top of updates independently, remember to check the TouchArcade forums. Let's dive into the highlights!

Peglin (Free): This week's coveted UMMSotW award goes to Peglin! Version 1.0 introduces Cruciball challenges up to level 20, a new Slime Hive mini-boss, and numerous tweaks, bug fixes, and balance improvements. A solid update for an already excellent game.

Brawl Stars (Free): Get ready for Brawl Stars time! SpongeBob SquarePants joins the fray in a new event. Plus, expect the arrival of two new Brawlers, Moe (Mythic) and Kenji (Legendary), and several new Hypercharges for existing characters. This content will roll out over the coming months.

stitch (Paid): More Hoops await in the latest stitch update! This update features a new set of puzzles with a martial arts theme (though the theme is secondary to the satisfying gameplay). Get ready for more soothing puzzle action.

Genshin Impact (Free): Genshin Impact: Natlan Launch is here! Explore the new Natlan region and meet three new characters: Mualani, Kinich, and Kachina. New weapons, events, stories, and artifacts round out this substantial update.

Temple Run: Puzzle Adventure (Apple Arcade): One hundred new levels are added to this matching puzzle game spin-off, along with refreshed tournaments. Expect plenty of gameplay to keep you busy.

Jetpack Joyride 2 (Apple Arcade): Barry Steakfries blasts off into space in this special update! This escape to the cosmos provides a fun new setting for the auto-runner gameplay.

Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop (Free): New character episodes for Sig, Carbuncle, and Rafisol are featured in Adventure Mode. Meena joins the playable roster (though without her own episode). Seven new music tracks are also available.

Hearthstone (Free): Battlegrounds Season 8, "Trinkets & Travels," arrives with new content and the Trinket Shop, replacing Buddies. Expect the usual array of new features and adjustments.

Toon Blast (Free): Fifty new levels are available in a new episode featuring bees and happiness (or perhaps a bee-happy combination!).

Royal Match (Free): One hundred new levels and a new jousting arena are added. King Robert's continued demise (or perhaps resurrection?) remains a source of amusement.

That concludes this week's update summary. Let us know in the comments if you feel any significant updates have been overlooked. We'll be back next week with another roundup! Have a great week!
