Might have varied from contract to contract. There's been a bunch of games that launched at the same time on other platforms. Sayonara Wild Hearts, Bradwell Conspiracy, Roundguard, etc

yeah some devs had AA exclusivity and some got freedom after 6 months, that is what i got from those tweets/etc. Currently im not subscribed by the way.

Seems like it's going to be another week without an Apple Arcade title given the updates that are showing up

So far Shinsekai, The Pinball Wizard and Stellar Commanders got big content updates with Pac Man Party Royale getting achievements.

Shantae also got its second part finishing the game.

Decided to buy Holedown as it was half price.

...I can't remember the last time I got this addicted to a game...

As my S2 Tab has died recently I was thinking of getting an iPad Air (2019) to fill th spot and return to IOS (as my last IOS device was a 4S), I got some questions:

1. Is the Air 2019 sufficient for gaming, or do you need a Pro to be futureproof?
2. Is there a way of "buying" IOS apps without a device nowadays? - got an Apple account and I checked iTunes does not show apps since an update some time ago and I'm still about a month before getting the device.
3. What do you use to check "deals", discounts and free games? Does it support "wishlist"?

Thanks a lot!

Nice recap. Think Bomb Chicken certainly would be worthy of a place in it. It's excellent! Or maybe you'd consider it an April release. :)

Bomb Chicken is a blast. Controls are great and it's challenging but rewarding when you pass a level and even more so when you collect everything on it.

Probably my favorite Nitrome release yet!

And here I thought Nitrome would never release another paid game on mobile. Glad they did for this one!

Tako Boy Studios (Candies 'n Curses) is developing a card battler that looks inspired by Final Fantasy's Triple Triad:

Holedown is an amazing game but also kinda disappointing because you get to the last "endless" planet is only a couple of hours and then there's like nothing else to do... I'm at a point now where I have deleted my save 2-3 times now to start again from scratch.

It's an amazing gameplay loop but I wish it was more fleshed out.

New Spyder update improved camera controls by allowing one finger on the right to move it. Camera also still pans on its own but the control changes make this much more playable for me! Now I'll play through it. Was waiting for that fix.

On top of Grindstone, Rayman Mini and Dodo Peak also gpt updated with new levels. Between the slew of updates for games (thanks to Apple's very generous money) and the latest releases that got better, it's starting to feel more like it.

Unless it got a lot of fixes since launch, it's not great. Buggy, slow, uninteresting.

well, i tried it on PC and a giant NOPE. Uninteresting, bland, generic and always the same thing over and over. Pass
Huh? Dead Cells uninteresting and bland? Never heard anyone say that before. Was on many GOTY lists.

Fantastic game and works surprisingly well on mobile.

Looks great! Wonder if we're going to get one this week?

Both from that announcement so early and Easter (plus we got one last week), I'm thinking we'll not see much except updates. Although KO_OP (folks behind the DLC for Lara Croft GO and GNOG) have nearly completed Winding Worlds so it could come soon to the service as well.

Like Secret Oops should get an update this week at least.
