Arcadalo: Retro Arcade Games

Fifteen original arcade games. One app. No ads, no subscriptions, nothing tracked. Three of them are free forever, a different one is free for everybody every single day, and every other game gives you three free runs, so you can play today without paying anything. Every game has perks. Clear a wave or a level and pick one of three: a wingman drone, a laser paddle, a safety net, seeker rounds, a free mistake. No two runs play alike, and a good run feels like something you built. NEW: PLAY TOGETHER Take turns on any game and pass it round, or go head to head: Rally and the new Coil Duel put two players on one screen, one finger each. Then challenge friends through Game Center to beat your score before the time runs out. MADE FOR EVERYONE Text grows with your Larger Text setting, with VoiceOver on you can still play the games directly, color is never the only clue, Increase Contrast brightens faint text, and Softer effects cut the flashes and the shake. FIFTEEN GAMES, ALL ORIGINAL • Swarm. Survive a crowd that closes in from every side while your ship fires itself. Kills drop gems, every level is a pick of three perks, and a Hive Queen arrives every two minutes. • Pulse. Tap the beat. Your taps play the tune, and every tune is made as you go. • Slipstream. Thread the traffic. Pass close for points, draft behind a car for a slingshot. • Drift Lander. Ease the craft onto a pad. A wide safe one, or a narrow gold one worth three times as much. • Outpost. A tower defense with no fixed path. Drag out walls to decide where the enemy may walk, then hold the line. • Rally. A paddle duel with a barrier that rises mid-court. • Shatterball. Clear the bricks, chain a combo, bank shots off the walls. • Coil. A growing trail, and a rival that races you for the pickups. • Star Sentry. Rows of enemies march down. Shoot the supply drone to rebuild a shield. • Void Runner. Drift with real momentum and face a mothership every fifth wave. • Sky Squadron. A swaying formation dives at you, and a Dreadnought guards every fifth wave. • Last Line. Telegraphed missiles, a real blast radius, and a Nova satellite to charge. • Hop Rush. Cross the traffic, then the river, then survive Rush Hour. • Burrow. Tap the creatures before they duck. Beware the decoys and the Big Mole. • Flipper Frenzy. A real physics pinball table with an end-of-ball bonus. DAILY RUN, WEEKLY GAUNTLET AND BOSS RUSH One game, a twist and a head start every day. Five games on one score every week. And five bosses, back to back. Add Twists for a bigger score, and look for perks that combine. EASY TO START, HARD TO MASTER Every game is a ladder. The first stage is gentle enough to enjoy on your very first run, and each stage after adds exactly one new thing. Every boss gives a clear warning before it attacks, so a loss is always something you can learn from. A LOOK YOU WON'T FIND ELSEWHERE Every shape is drawn live as a glowing vector stroke. No photos, no sprite sheets, no stock art. Every tune is generated, too: there is no licensed music anywhere in the app. SOMETHING TO CHASE Five hand-written milestones per game, a five-rung mastery ladder, colour palettes you unlock by getting better, and your top three runs kept on the device with your initials on them, the way the cabinet did it. FAIR BY DESIGN One-time purchase: every game, every palette and every bonus soundtrack. No ads. No subscriptions. No in-app currency. No energy timers. Nothing tracked, nothing sold, no account, no sign-up. Plays on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac, with one purchase. Every name and every pixel in Arcadalo is original. Made in Manchester by one person.
