Apple Arcade - EarthNight (2019) [-] A complicated endless runner where you can double jump, speed up and slow down, dash forward and dash down. Pick up stuff, jump on bad guys, kill a dragon at the end of the level. The view port is kept small so a lot of times you're jumping up or dashing down on faith that there'll be something worthwhile to get which I found frustrating. Also I'm not a fan of endless runners.
Apple Arcade - Don't Bug Me! (2019) [?] Tower defense + FPS non-moving shooting. You're on Mars waiting for rescue meanwhile Martian creatures attack. Collect solar power then build automated defenses. You can also move to a sector and do manual defense where you are behind a gun shooting at incoming Martians. Sort of uninspiring gameplay and I didn't really give it much of a chance hence the ? rating.
Apple Arcade - Atone: Heart of the Elder Tree (2019) [?] Norse themed bardic RPG-sort of game. Nice 8-bit graphics. Wander around talking to people and doing puzzles and battling Guitar Hero style where you have to match the beats of a song (which I'm very bad at by the way). I only played for half an hour so not sure if the story and doing stuff is interesting enough.
And that's all the Apple Arcade games being discontinued.
