Arcadia Sports is a collection of arcade games with a sports theme for Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, Apple Vision Pro and Apple TV. The collection consists of 12 games (with many more to come): - Beach Ball Match similar balls to form larger ones. Keep them in the box. - Formula Race Compete in the premier racing series and outpace your opponents with skillful overtaking maneuvers. - Hoop Fever Dribble, shoot and score. All with just one finger. - Basket Getting the ball in the hoop is a given. But what if the hoop had to target the ball instead? - 8-Ball Pool Classic 8-Ball in solo mode. Sink balls of one type (solid or striped) first and then the rest, culminating in the 8-ball. - 9-Ball Pool Hit the lowest numbered ball first, but numerical order isn't necessary for pocketing. - Air Hockey Similar to hockey, minus the ice and Zamboni. First to reach 10 points wins. - CyberSoccer Turn-based soccer, a new twist. Each CyberPlayer manages a zone on the field. If the ball lands there, it's their turn. - MiniGolf (Course A) Golf, but downsized with compact courses full of obstacles and challenges. - MiniGolf (Course B) Similar to before, but with different courses (and challenges). - Bowling A classic! Knock down all the pins, preferably in one roll. Easier said than done, right? - RainBowling Bowling meets a rainbow, with explosive pins and obstacles. Not quite the rainbow we remember. Is this a small offering? Don't worry! This is just the beginning. We're already working on new games that will be added to the collection over time. Additional Features: - Advanced support for Apple Watch (Series 3 and later, Ultra and later) - 120 fps support on compatible devices - iCloud support for saving progress - Game Center support for online leaderboards - No advertisements - No tracking
