Your phone has a thousand games. Your watch has almost none. But this is about to become your favorite watch game. Doomscroll is an arcade shooter built for your wrist where the only thing you need to do is turn the Digital Crown to scroll deeper into the cavern. Your character fires as you go. Stop scrolling too long and the flames will get you. It starts out easy. But the deeper you get, the worse it gets. New monsters unlock, but for every 100 that you kill, you can pick a weapon upgrade. You’ll encounter barricades, spider webs, and get the occasional health potion. Your challenge is to see how far you get, and whether you can get further next time. Faithfully ported from the original browser game, with all five cavern floors, every monster, the same endless descent. Also plays on iPhone with swipe controls. • Built for Apple Watch, controlled with the Digital Crown • Play for two minutes or twenty • No ads. No in-app purchases. • No sound! Because who wants game noises coming out of their watch? • (And because you want to listen to a podcast while you play anyway) • Collects no data. • One purchase gets you both the Watch and iPhone apps

Clear the line before it reaches the top. A falling tetromino puzzle built for Apple Watch. No phone, no account, no internet. Pieces drop one at a time into a ten by twenty well. Turn them, slide them, and fit them together so a row fills completely and clears. Leave a gap and the stack creeps upward until there is no room left. TURN THE CROWN TO AIM - The Digital Crown moves the piece one column per detent, with no drift or inertia - Tap once to rotate clockwise, twice to rotate the other way - Swipe to move the piece or to send it straight down - Haptic feedback confirms every landing WATCH THE NUMBERS CLIMB - Level, lines cleared and score are on screen the whole time - The next piece is previewed beside the well, so you can plan the drop - Your best score is kept and shown next to the current one - The drop speeds up as the level rises PICK IT BACK UP The game in progress is saved as you play, so a piece mid-fall, the stack under it and your score are all still there the next time you raise your wrist. There is a pause button whenever you need it. BUILT FOR THE WATCH The well is sized to the screen you actually have, so the playfield fills a 41mm watch and an Ultra equally well without shrinking the pieces to nothing. Runs on Apple Watch on its own, with no iPhone nearby. No account, no ads, no tracking and no internet connection needed. Your game never leaves your watch.
