30 year old non-gamer, for the most part, for what it adds… is one of maybe two games that I can play for more than 10 minutes. And by more than ten I mean an hour or more. (Extreme Road Trip 2 is the other.)
Bit sassy and irrational, don’t you think? I’ve played this game for hours and hours and never paid a dime until I was sick of ads. Then it was a one-time $3 fee.Developer must be desperate for cash.
I will say that we are paying for the continued support of these apps, plus the ability to enjoy them free of ads and / or IAPs. That’s the value of the service - paying Apple to surface good games that would otherwise have been buried beneath a mountain of similar apps.
Dreaming if you think Apple Arcade will ever have AAA games. They are reserved for real gaming consoles and pc's.
But ofc it is. Yawn. Call me when Apple has quality games worth playing on AA
And people wonder why everyone says Apple doesn't get gaming. Laughable

But ofc Apple did. That's all they do. Wait for someone else to come out with an amazing feature, steal it and then claim they "invented it" much like what they did with multi-touchGameclub have been reviving old classics for years on iOS. Looks like Apple just copied them.
the difference is, if you already owned the game back in the day, gameclub make the updated version available to you for free. I’m loving being able to play Pix’n’Love Rush again. Shame Apple aren’t doing this.

Move, jump and shoot! Does it sound easy? Well it is... at first. But then it gets much, much harder! All you love in classic Jump & Run games packed into 5-minutes sessions where your heartbeat won’t resist the rush!

Nigel is this you? I really miss TouchGen! I started talking about mobile games because of people like you! Thanks!
That is like saying paying for Apple Music subscription isn't worth it because of all those old songs they have on there. It'll only be worth it if they add new songs. Just because it is old doesn't make it bad, a good game lives on past its best buy date and in cases like myself introduces it to a whole new audience that didn't even know it existed. It is $5 a month and if it turns out you don't use the app enough then yeah it isn't worth it, but $5 a month for me is a complete bargain.
The only thing sad is you thinking that Apple Arcade should be built for you.
But what does an old, free game need to be on Apple Arcade for? Can't you just go to the app store and download it for free?
Sure, though these days I'm unsure if what you mean by free is really free. As I said though I would never have known this game existed, therefore, would never have searched for it, it is just the thought that a $5 a month subscription fee isn't worth it may be true for some but not true for others that was my only point.
not too enjoyable of a game. First played this as a BlackBerry 10 exclusive on launch month. it was probably the best game if not the only one for that platform lol.
Isn't this free already? I'm guessing we'll get all the skins that were available to purchase maybe?
