Back to the classic look, plus improvements and bug fixes.
Thanks for playing!
Love all things retro specially gaming, and pixelated graphics. For $1.49, I figured what the heck. Much to my surprise it’s far better than I even expected. There is plenty of play here, and each and every puzzle/sport is very well implemented. The hand gesture control is completely spot on and super responsive. For example, there’s a Pole Position clone, where you simply use your fingers to steer left and right, and it just feels so good, with ultra smooth motion. There are two fun little mini golf games, a very interesting turn based soccer game, a Puyo Puyo clone which uses various balls based on the sport, a fun, bowling game and much much more. There are developers, throwing up ridiculously simplistic, apps and charging 10, even $20 for something not even a 10th as good as Arcadia Sports Retro. Having it on a giant screen with that standard, beautiful transparent window is wonderful. This is definitely a must have for us crazy early adopters!
Don’t skip over this, as I did for many years, thinking it’s a collection of pointless, ugly, and half-broken Apple Watch games. What you need to know is that this is the greatest collection of simple, straightforward sports games available in the world today. For any platform, period. The core gameplay mechanics are perfect, and the pixel art designs are lightweight, unobtrusive, and consistently pleasant to look at. There are no ads, no microtranscations, no add-ons, no loot boxes; no nonsense at all. I find myself playing this throughout the day on my iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV, and it works seamlessly on them all. I don’t even have an Apple Watch, but I’m sure this app would work great on one. The only issue with the sports collection is that it’s incomplete; the base Arcadia app has a version of Pong (or tennis, really) and two racing games that aren’t in the sports set. So, if you want all the sports, you need to get both Arcadia apps. Personally, I was more than happy to buy both and support this incredible developer. I can only hope that they’re working on more Arcadia game collections. I’ve been playing iOS games for almost 15 years now, and I genuinely believe this is the best set of pick-up-and-play-anywhere-anytime games I’ve ever seen. It’s so delightful and refreshing; be sure not to miss it.
Well, This game is actually a full 5 stars but I’m rating it low to get the attention of the developers. I was playing the basketball in the hoop game, the one where you tap to put it in (not the slide the hoop game) when it suddenly quit giving me baskets to make! I have screenshot and screen records of the game not progressing after 268 baskets made. I was going for a new weekly record but it literally didn’t have any baskets coming! Otherwise, this game and app are SUPER addicting and awesome! Simple games and clear rules. Nothing crazy or ultra fancy. My kind of game! Beware: if you’re really good, the game might get mad ;P P.s. worth the money Update: Thank you developers for responding! I sincerely appreciate you seeking my comment out and informing me with your software updates! I still have the app and will continue to play it. Also, I updated my star rating!
Has a nice variety of games enough I can get distracted from some time. Or maybe I just like puzzles I dunno. but if ur looking for something to do when waiting in line or your teacher is talking abt something you know plenty abt great way to do something that's not picking at ur skin or sum. If I was u I would give it a try and it is not pricy unless you really don't have the money but then why would u have a apple watch if u can't spend one dollar? (saying this as someone who rarely has money. Things will get better dawg) anywho that's all 👋 also please keep in mind this game creators especially small ones probably ain't getting paid big bucks so this can help them ( I'm just a random dude a student. Don't know the creator or creators of this app)
I bought Arcadia and Arcadia sports for my watch but I have been using it more on my phone it is really good on the Apple Watch but even better on the iPhone! I have always been driven to surpass my own personal best and achieve the highest score in racing games. When I'm finished with those games, I find relaxation and enjoyment in playing bowling or golf. These games not only provide entertainment but also offer a nostalgic retro vibe that I am particularly fond of. I highly recommend getting Arcadia, as it delivers an exceptional sports experience. Overall, I would rate it a perfect 5 out of 5 stars or a solid 10 out of 10. 😎😎😎😎😎
I got a new apple watch recently cause i missed tracking my steps and i thought it would be. good investment moving forward. As someone who’s always wished he could play games on his wrist- i like the classic arcade style of the games and even the selection of games are great as well. It’s a cheap buy but you can definitely get a good bit of fun out of it. I work at a preschool and the kids are always so fascinated when i play a game on my phone then i show them i can do it on my wrist too 🤣! I have this and the other game this company offers and i enjoy the both of them a lot, especially because i can go back and forth between my phone or my wrist. it’s a good way to pass time and a lot of the games really do get challenging the further you get in them and it’s nice that it’s really just about beating your own high scores. I’d recommend it to anyone who thinks they’d get a kick out of playing games in a way that really helps demonstrate the times we are in with technology! and don’t get me wrong it’s no VR/Console type of feel, but it definitely scratches that nostalgic itch of a classic arcade cabinet. i hope that there is more in store for this company and the games they put out in the future.
I think the game is awesome and I totally recommend it. I love Cybersoccer, everything shown in the pictures is accurate. I haven’t encountered any bugs yet so everything was well planned out.😁👍 -To developer, I think you should describe in the description how to play each game and the controls more in depth. But otherwise, you made an amazing game! One thing, can you please add more games. Like table tennis or some other sport please I think the variety of games will make your Arcadia Sports games a lot more appealing! Thank you for an awesome game!
PLEASE READ DEVELOPERS: I love this game and think it’s super entertaining and the variety is amazing. However, I feel like there is room for improvement in the customization department such as different skins for the different games. This could either be in the form of in app purchases or in the form of coins that are rewarded from reaching certain scores in the games. I think customization would add so much more to this amazing game.
