Retro 8-bit Sport Games

Raffaele D'Amato

Designed for iPad

    • $1.49

Description

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

A Little Vision Pro Gem!

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!

Delightful, refreshing. Don’t miss it.

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.

Game quit giving me levels

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!
