‘Creaks’ from Amanita Design Gets a Surprise Release on Apple Arcade

The last few weeks have been interesting for Apple Arcade. While there has been a lot of good news like the iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 features coming to the platform, there has also been bad news like Apple changing up things with developers leading to some games reportedly being cancelled.

Minecraft ($6.99) on iOS and Android (alongside the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Windows 10) was recently updated to version 1.16 bringing in the highly anticipated Nether update.

‘Light the Sea’ is an Atmospheric Underwater Flinger that’s Launching July 18th

I’ve long felt that “flinging" was one of the mechanics that’s most well-suited to the touchscreen. This can be flinging by pushing forwards on an object with the touchscreen and sending it careening, or flinging by pulling back on an object and slingshotting it similar to something like Angry Birds.

‘Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales’ from CD Projekt Red Just Launched on iOS as a Premium Release with Cross Platform Progression across PC

When CD Projekt Red finally announced and eventually released GWENT on iOS, I was glad to see the company bring it to mobile. Games like that play best on touchscreens for a lot of people and it made me wonder if Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales would ever be feasible for mobile. Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales is a singleplayer RPG set in the world...
