Weekly UK App Store Charts: Construction Simulator builds its success

Having taken to the top of the official weekly App Store charts courtesy of our friends at Apple last week, this week saw Angry Birds Transformers hold its position at the top of the free rundown on iPhone for Rovio, but it wasn't the only success the Finnish giant saw.

Also making an appearance in the chart is Pocket Gamer Gold Award winning free-to-play release RETRY, coming in at #5.

Elsewhere in the charts it's all quiet on the western front, with Minecraft - Pocket Edition remaining as popular as ever on the paid charts - its performance only sullied slightly by the continued rise of Construction Simulator 2014, which hit top spot on iPhone.
