iOS 14: 'Phoenix 2' Space Shooter Delivers Playable Demo via App Clips

[PickUrPoison]

I really wish there would be an “unlimited” option where your credit card gets topped up as you progress, so missiles, armor and upgrades can be charge for swiftly and frictionless, a call by the bank when you’ve reached your credit’s limit is more than enough imho

They don’t have to call, your purchases will just be declined 🤣

That’s the way debit cards work in casinos, who were the biggest backers of atm cards back in the 70s. They loved the idea of suckers being able to put their card in a slot machine and playing away until their account was dry. Then the machine spits out your card and goes dark, and you’re done. No bad checks to deal with lol.

I hope this 'demo' feat will be available for all apps.

​

After a few moments of downloading the assets, the introduction level to Phoenix 2 appears playable as a native App Clip on your device.

After the demo ends, will these "assets" will be deleted? Are they some sort of 'junk' that you need to manually delete?

Wow, I tried it and it’s as if I downloaded the full game. Amazing quality for a feature I thought I’d never use

same here

I don't see it... firigames.com/phoenix 2, iOS 14.0.1 and Safari, not in Private Browsing. I get a "GET - On the App Store" banner instead of a "Play" button. Maybe only works in the US, or only via WIFI, or something.

That's odd. I'm in the UK and it worked for me

One of the new features that arrived in iOS 14 is called App Clips.

MR removed the thumbs down icon from their own article posts.
I would thumbs down it if I could as this type of advertising, I disagree with. I'd pay to be a member of MR if this kind of unsolicited advertising was removed from the front page for everyone.

Don't most Mobile Games require Internet access?

You start to wonder what these "free previews do", if they scan your phone for sensitive data...

Knowledge is better than your misleading irrational fear. None ‚scans’ your iOS. Learn the difference!

Works in all Europe too

It was the WIFI, the PLAY button only appears when connected to a Wifi connection (even though my monthly cellphone plan is a whopping 28GB).

Nice use of App Clips.

so I played with it for 2-3 minutes and no longer want it. How do I delete the app clip now? If I go to the app library, i can see the game at the very bottom of the page. Any thoughts?

Read back through this thread. There's a few people detailing how to remove it.
