Apple Arcade Mini-Reviews
Apr 24 2023
Apple Arcade - Monomals (2019) [/] Kids game with two components. In one you are a plug going through an underwater dungeon getting past opponents, solving puzzles, then fighting the level boss. In the second component those level bosses are sounds and you get to compose your own songs in a simple audio studio. It's a weird combination and the song studio is better using touch than controller.
Apple Arcade - Super Mega Mini Party (2019) [/] Play lots of retro-like mini-games versus friends, other people, or AI. These are two player games and seem to take a minute or two to play. Kind of fun in a IRL party but not in general since none of the games have any depth to them.
Apple Arcade - Star Fetched (2019) [/] A cartoony sci-fi themed side-view platformer. Shoot boxes and bad guys to collect parts which you can use to build weapons and devices. Not terribly complex as there is only one type of part plus gold to buy things from shops. A bit of exploration to find semi-hidden areas where there might be more loot. Plus there are mini-bosses. It's ok but not interesting enough to keep playing for long.
