Pong-Style 'Hit the Island' Game Now Available for iPhone 14 Pro

[JustSomebody12]

The App Store is telling me I can install it on iPods with iOS 16+.

Is it just me or is the dynamic island unusually distracting?

It could be that the Island has screen space above it, thus bringing it into the screen area. The notch can melt into the top border because it's the same black.

Trash game... Looks like it was developed in one day just to board the Dynamic Island hype train

Because it f--king is....

Btw, it just goes off the default size of the island. If you happen to mute or something that makes the island bigger, the ball will go straight through it and hit where the default island is.

Origional??? It's a copy of a game that has been around for 40 years! 🤣

Yeah I didn't mean pong - I just meant it was a fun way to use the island.

So the island is dynamic but the game isn't.

It’s been two days and just like the notch, I don’t even notice it.

 

[Colpeas]

Good thing they condescendently allow the peasants portion of the users with older phones to at least hit the notch

A nice little game. Brings back memories from long ago.

Coming soon to CBS... "Big Brother: Dynamic Island"

I would say is more Arkanoid-stlyle.

Does it have music? So many games over the last several years have decided to inexplicably omit music, and of me: no music, no download.

Play your own music. I'd rather listen to what I like rather than what a developer chooses.

Depends on the game. OOT? SMB? Resident Evil 1? FF9? Great games have great music, tailored to the game you're playing. The music is as iconic as the game itself, and was writing for it.

As much as I love In Utero and Ride the Lighting, neither is going to be a better fit for Metroid Prime than the music composed for Metroid Prime.

Once people see their friends and strangers playing games on their dynamic island, they’ll open their Apple Store app in a heartbeat or stampede to the Apple Store.

I gotta do better. Only got 25 just now.

Hit the Island has been updated to offer my challenges. You also have the option to keep playing the classic version. I am liking version 2.0 thus far.
