  • Great collection!

    I LOVE the homage to Sega’s Outrun. All games are very playable. The best parts of these games are that they’re more or less designed to be start/stop friendly, where it isn’t a big deal if you lose progress or whatever. But you do seem to be able to pause and hold your place (at least while the app is running in the bg), which is helpful. Some are pretty simple, and reminiscent of some of the classic “filler” games that used to get churned out in the cartridge days, but they seemingly perform as designed and do not crash. Definitely worth $2 to have access to some quick games without having to be glued to my phone.

  • Better than you’d think

    I’ve gotten multiple of these before, they have 4 variations of the same game and call it a day but this one isn’t like that at all. Their games are unique but also the classics, they have stuff like bowling, fishing, races, etc. but its all just so addictive and great for passing time. I ride the bus to school everyday and I’m usually pretty bored so I’ve been looking for games to play on the bus and this is perfect for me. My favorite game so far is FastRun, its a racing game where you avoid other cars and falling off the road. Those types of games are usually all the same, you dodge some cans and stop signs by pressing some arrows and boom you’ve won the game, but this one is more unique from the joystick and art style all the way to how it makes you feel like your there.

  • Best games on Apple Watch: bonus play on phone too!

    These games are great and maybe even the best you can play on your Apple Watch for the price. But you might want to buy them with the bundle that says “Also Included In” in the App Store because for 99¢ more you get 5 other games; furthermore, some of the other games are a bundle of multiple games as well. $1.99 for this game alone but $2.99 gives you an additional 5 games with some including multiple games themself. These games are very impressive for your Apple Watch and designed to easily be played on you Watch as well. They run buttery smooth and also have a nostalgic likeness to old school games.

    100% recommend you purchasing this game; but only if, you buy this game in the 6 game bundle for 99¢ more. Again, when you click the game in the App Store, you’ll see something that says “Also Included In.” Click that and buy that bundle. Worth it completely.

  • Everything feels like a reskin

    Each game feels exactly the same. It honestly feels like there are multiple different re-skins of a game that constantly has the same formula. It’s even more like that in Arcadia sports. I downloaded Arcadia sports, thinking that it was going to have an actual formula racing with a first second and third place but instead, it’s just like the normal car game on here. There’s no real racing part. Not only that but the bowling game on here is not only repeated once on ArcadiaSports but twice. The games on this one and it’s sequel are good, but they just need more diversity and different mechanics.

  • It’s perfect

    awesome collection of fun, easy to play games that you can play on your watch! as far as using the apple watch as a gaming device(?!), these guys nailed it. of course, you can also play on your phone or tv. the leaderboards are separate too for each device which is nice. i can’t imagine how gaming(!?!!?) on an apple watch could be implemented better. just perfect little mini-games with simple controls that are fun and cozy. the collection has also expanded a good bit since i originally purchased it which is really appreciated. good devs, good games, good, simple fun. must have if you have an apple watch imo. apple should buy it out and include it natively as a fun gimmick lol that’s how well it fits the device and makes something fun that works given its extreme limitations.

  • Very Useful game for my watch

    I like retro arcade games—maybe not as much as Minecraft or anything, but they’re fun games to play. When I found out there was an app that had a bunch of retro-style arcade games that I could play on my watch, I immediately bought it. The experience has been great. The selling point for me was Galaxy Invaders, a game based on Space Invaders, which I used to play all the time on my Atari flashback. Arcadia gives a cool twist to the game with having some of the attacking ships move to attack. Overall, great little app, and I very much recommend it

  • These games are great!!!

    I love most of these games, and have a lot of fun playing them on my watch when I get bored. I will say though that some of the more puzzle-like games probably need some instructions so that the player won’t be completely confused about what to do. But overall I think most of these are great games and I 100% recommend this app.

  • What a deal :)

    I’ve had my Apple Watch for several months now, but hadn’t come across any games that look like they would 1) be any fun, and 2) kind of show off what the watch can do when other people are looking :-)

    So for two bucks, this was like the perfect find for me. The games are actually fun, they’re really well made w/ the graphics, gameplay, sound, music… all of it. This isn’t just someone goofing around - these are games you might even catch yourself playing on your phone too. :-)

    They’re the definition of pick up and play games, when you have five minutes to burn somewhere… and to have ‘em all in one pack like this is perfect. Good job, y’all.

  • Amazing

    When I first got the app I was confused with many of the games but when I figured it out I could not get off my watch my favorite is bubble mania! I love the details to each game and it is available for even colorblind people

    One suggestion I think could be updated is the games I feel like there could be more to choose from because they haven’t updated the games in a while maybe I will find a new game to enjoy
    Great ideas!!

    ok , I have very few reasons on why I love this game , and very few reasons on why I don’t like it as much as well .

    here are reasons why I love the game : 1.) it’s really cool how you can play it on your phone AND on your Apple Watch !
    2.) the games are actually fun , because any other game for Apple Watch isn’t like this one ! It’s very creative !!
    And 3.) i don’t regret for paying at all for this game !!

    here are reason why I kind of dislike the game : 1.) I don’t like the fact that you have to pay for the app .
    And 2.) the bowling game could be a little better , not that it’s terrible , but it could be better .

    and that’s it ! I really love it and I’m glad you guys took time to create this masterpiece !! Have a blessed dayy !
