Every week, Pocket Gamer sister site Quality Index (Qi) highlights the newest games to make a critical splash in the cool, seductive waters of the iOS pool.

Grabbing scores and opinions from all corners of the web, including from 148Apps, AppGamer, and Modojo, Qi answers all your iPhone-related questions before you've even asked them.

Today, we're going to focus on two new contenders vying to be crowned king of your iPhone. Both are worthy, but do they have what it takes to win your head, your heart, and your wallet?

Taking control of the Qi iPhone chart this week is sentient puzzle game mash-up Self Aware.

In this novel app, players must do battle with STU, a rogue AI who has infiltrated your iPhone and is slowly turning it against you.

In order to regain control of your handset, you have to tackle a series of disparate challenges, ranging from arcade minigames like Snake to word and number puzzles, all of which must be completed against the clock.

Clearly a graduate of the GLaDOS School of Social Science, STU will attempt to undermine your confidence along the way, repeatedly informing you are nothing but a genetic mishap. I guess your mother was right all along.
Tapscape's reviewer was completely enamoured with Self Aware, describing it as "totally enjoyable, utterly unnerving, and an absolute must-play".

Snack attack

Keeping gamers' appetites satisfied further down the Top 10 is creature-feeding physics-puzzler Webbies.

A cantankerous spider has taken it upon himself to steal all the fruit and nuts from the forest and string them up in his web, leaving the rest of the woodland animals with nothing to eat.

It's your job to nourish the hungry critters by using the web's elasticity to catapult food into their open mouths, thus silencing their grumbling bellies and earning you points.

Combining foodstuffs will earn you extra bonuses, and avoiding kinetic obstacles will become an essential element of later levels.

The folks at 148Apps were big fans of Webbies's fruit-flinging antics, saying "there's no reason for any puzzle fan to pass this one over".
