Apple Arcade is not working well enough for Apple given the amount of cash thrown into games thus far, multiple games cancelled and a focus on more replayable games a la Grindstone is now the vision:

Apple Cancels Some Arcade Games in Strategy Shift To Keep Subscribers

Apple Inc. has shifted the strategy of its Apple Arcade gaming service, canceling contracts for some games in development while seeking other titles that it believes will better retain subscribers.

Didn't expect to come into this thread to find a BaSS release.

The thread title reminded me there's a Dicey Dungeons port due eventually.

A Fold Apart got a huge update that completely overhauls the touch controls among a long, long list of other changes. I gave up on it early on the last go around so gonna give it another spin and see if it's better.

Thought this article would be of interest to some in here interested in the business side of mobile, especially as the revenues are laid bare for the developer of Card Crawl which got a bit of play here.

Just got a 12.9 ipad pro(2020). Any particular mobile games I should be on the lookout for?. I already have a ps4 and switch so looking for more mobile exclusive unless the port is actually preferable on mobile. Off the top of my head I'll grab FTL next time it's on sale and looks like I should get Papers, Please and it hasn't been on sale in years.

Genshin Impact. It's supposed to come out this year and will probably be the best looking mobile game.

That's awesome!

I already beat thronebreaker on PC and loved it so it's an easy recommendation for anyone who hasn't played it yet.

Think I'll have to pick this up at some point. Switch port apparently has some issues but I imagine it'll run quite well on my pro.

Game freezes at the end of the first battle :-/
Actually, starting a new game did the trick! I was able to progress past the first battle.
So far the game is great. Having to long-press for any and every action is cumbersome but otherwise it's a very solid port.

Eh. I was looking forward to this, but I didn't know that it uses a virtual joystick to control the character. I hate this. I don't think I'll complete this one.

I read a post on TA that said the dev would be adding the survival modes later. But yeah, I was kind of annoyed it wasn't there.

Fun game nonetheless. Hope it gets updated with them soon.

Know people are occupied with Slay the Spire as far as card games, but really wanted to recommend Phantom Rose Scarlet. It's an outstanding rogue like card game. Beautiful artwork and attack animations. Combat involves phases and lots of strategy with multiple cards to draw from your entire deck (cooldowns after playing each).

Buy the $5 "supporter" pack and it's basically a premium game. Also, ignore the reviews for the dev's similar title on Steam. This is built for mobile from the ground up and doesn't have the issues that the PC game has (losing decks, etc.).

It's actually taking time away from StS for me. 5-star average with 60 reviews and it deserves it.
