### 3/5 — game alr

not bad ig

### 4/5 — Game Watch style on Apple Watch

*2023-12-30*

In times past game watches = epic. Simple racers, shooters. LCD very old school, but fun
So early Apple watch = WOW potential…  didn’t seem to stick. Idea was fab, speed of watch / execution of games poor.
But now … min spec Apple Watch spec is SE3 = more capable.
So to Retro Arcade ?
1) fast / slick colour graphics & sound (mostly) these are so Game Watch ! 
2) Intuitive controls. What the Digital Crown was made for. 
Games… I’ve played.
A) Kelper attack. Your ship travels around the edge of the screen facing in. Left right with the crown. Fast, die often. Power ups. Suitable sound 5/5
B)Asteroid, spin ship left or right to control direction of travel. Blast rocks, space ships. Slightly longer game time. Decent graphics / sound
Really really good 5/5
C) assault Jet. Left right shooter it’s colourful and OK 3/5
D) Red Barron. Left right biplane shooter. Nice graphics, not as slick to control. 3/5 Better on watch 9?
Over all Kelper and Asteroid make it all worth it. 4/5

### 5/5 — Needs more people and updates

*2023-12-14*

This game is amazing and is one of the best Apple Watch games out there, more people need to know about this also the devs need to update more.
