SlatesArcade vs ArcadeOS

Forty-two games for Apple Watch. Cards, board games, puzzles, arcade action and a few things that just look good on your wrist — all of them built for a small screen and a spare minute. Nothing here needs the internet. No accounts, no ads, no purchases, and nothing leaves your watch. Open a game and play. THE GAMES Cards — Aces Up, Crazy Eights, Cribbage, Go Fish, Pyramid Board — Backgammon, Checkers, Dominoes, Dots & Boxes, Four in a Row, Reversi, Salvo, Yacht Puzzle — 2048, Blackout, Bulls & Cows, Crates, Mines, Peg Solitaire, Sliding, Sudoku Action — Blocks, Bricks, Chomp, Glide, Hopper, Pinball, Runner, Snake Aim — 9-Ball, Bowling, Darts, Dogfight, Drift, Flick, Golf, Tilt Maze Eye Candy — Automata, Fractal, Langton's Ant, Life, Pendulum BUILT FOR THE WATCH, NOT SHRUNK TO FIT Tap and drag do most of it. Eleven games take the Digital Crown, where it is the better control — aiming a cue, putting spin on a bowling ball, changing the speed of a simulation — and two are steered by leaning your wrist. EVERY GAME EXPLAINS ITSELF How to Play sits in every game's menu: what winning means, and which control the game is actually listening for. No game leaves you guessing. IT REMEMBERS WHERE YOU WERE A dropped wrist or a notification does not cost you a game. The long ones keep their position — the sudoku grid, the cribbage hand, the crate you were pushing — and hand it back when you return. IT KEEPS SCORE Best scores where a score makes sense, fewest moves where that is the better measure, and a win-loss record against Otto, the opponent in ten of the games.
