APPLE ARCADE

5 Amazing Apple Arcade Action Games

Craving more chances to put your split-second reaction time to the test? We’ve got good news: You’ll find plenty of that on Apple Arcade. Here are five adrenaline-pumping action games to get you started, all of which can be enjoyed with an Apple Arcade subscription. For even more, check out the Arcade tab on the App Store.

Slip and slide

Rayman Mini moves with roller-coaster-like speed as you punch, jump, and slide through the game’s wild, quick-shifting levels. Run up walls, ride giant worms, bash down barriers—whatever it takes to clear a path forward while dodging hazards.

Try to control chaos

Hesitate for even a moment in Super Impossible Road and you’ll probably go flying off the track. Which isn’t necessarily bad. Since you can steer in midair, you’ve still got a shot at getting back on the track while airborne. You might wind up landing ahead of competitors and improving your time. Or you might soar into oblivion.

Chomp the competition

You remember Pac-Man, right? Pac-Man Party Royale ups the ante. Not only do you need to gobble up pellets while avoiding roaming ghosts, you compete against other players. Your goal: Be the last Pac-Man standing. It’s the best kind of chaos.

Flip for high scores

To minimize risk, you could opt to move slowly in Hexaflip. But what’s the fun in that? To score high, you can’t slow down. Spikes and hammers will try to mess you up. Moving platforms will throw off your timing. The challenge just makes your eventual triumph all the more satisfying.

Hop to the rescue

In Dodo Peak, you’re on a mission to save hatchlings trapped behind (what else?) spikes, falling boulders, and slithering snakes. A fun twist: Because hatchlings trail behind you once you’ve collected them, you’ll need to watch out for your growing trail of adorable dependents.
