About ArcadeOS
Welcome to ArcadeOS — a whole arcade in your pocket, and now on your wrist. 65 hand-picked original games, each one its own cartridge: kart racers, ninja action, gothic pinball, paper-craft RPGs, sky shooters, momentum platformers, run-and-gun, belt brawlers, puzzle boxes, rhythm, and full 3D adventures. Every game is an original creation in the spirit of the golden age of consoles — drawn in code, scored with real chip audio, and built to be picked up in seconds. CHERRY EDITION 23 new games join the shelf, every one rated five stars by our testers before it shipped — look for the cherry on the cartridge. Highlights: Reefjack's lantern-tide run-and-gun, Thornhollow's gorge platforming, Quiet Falls' suburban-oddball RPG, Emberline's three-winter family saga, Cascabel's commedia brawler, Ironvane's vertical shooter, and Crestline GP's speedboat regatta. APPLE WATCH ArcadeOS now ships with an Apple Watch app. Three games are built for the wrist and the Digital Crown: Redline Ridge (crown hops lanes, hold to burn), Sunstrip (crown steers, tap to shift) and Ironvane (crown flies, hold to charge, tap to call your wingman). Runs on its own — no iPhone needed nearby.
