Feels a bit better with a controller but at least it's not free to play :) But yes, it was built around it
Yeah, Sonic Racing is the first dud of Apple Arcade for me. Luckily there's like 100ish games that are great.

Yeah, I did 2-3 races and I'm not liking it.
Looks and runs well, but it just feels like a worse Mario Kart Tour which is coming out in a week I think.

I feel the same. Maybe having just 64gb is a good thing as it'll force me to be more picky about what I download.
The swipe keyboard is blowing my mind, too.
Speed Demons is a really fun & fast Arcade game. I recommend it!
My standouts so far are (but I didn't even launch many other titles, mind you) in no particular order:
Card of Darkness
Grindstone
Frogger
Bleak Sword
Shinsekai
Assemble with care
Where Cards Fall
I would have paid 5-10 dollars for each of these games....I feel like I'm robbing the devs.
Also, some of those titles would have probably ended free to play if Apple Arcade didn't exist, meaning I wouldn't have played them for more than 5 minutes.
So extra thanks to Apple.
Seems too good to be true actually.
I'm truly speechless.

Great to get the feedback. This is mostly a symptom of the way the content is split out, how much content there is right now, and how the game is structured. There is pretty extensive content and feature roadmap for the game for the next year, some of which will allow for you to get more out of every run, successful or not, but can provide back these and any other comments back to the team.
Arcade is great, but remember there are stil some greatl paid games coming out too.
Simple Rockets 2 is out. Loved the first one and this one seems pretty great!

I'm trying to archive my iPad back-up in preparation of downloading the 13 beta, but for whatever reason, I can't get the right click/control-click menu to appear in iTunes to archive the back-up. Anyone know if I'm missing a step or doing something wrong?
Edit: I'm on Windows, if that matters
Edit: so I backed-up, but there's no appdata folder on my computer. I have no idea how that's possible

I had no idea inmost was coming to iOS, and Creaks looks fantastic. For some reason i slept on The Pathless despite it being one of the flagship apple arcade titles (i swear i've seen that ninja everywhere), i had no idea it was by the Abzu devs
It's the purest fun I've had with a game in a long time. It's closer to what I wanted out of Donut County. Unfair to that game, but that's the comparison I have stuck in my head. It's also kinda WarioWare with a thematic throughline. I love it.
I just started out Mini Motorways and it definitely seems cool. I'm wondering how sophisticated you can be though. I clear the achievements per map very easily but that's just by using pretty straightforward paths. It'd be cool if it's possible to make roundabouts or diamond interchanges. I've still mostly stuck to Grindstone after beating Sayonara Wild Hearts (might try to get gold on each level still). Sounds like I should try Card of Darkness since I like Zach Gage a lot. I really want to sit down and try some of the adventure games I downloaded too.
I think Grindstone is alright. I usually clear levels first try and have tons of resources banked. I'm starting Card of Darkness now and I feel like I missed something in the tutorial because I can't even beat the second level. That game is kicking my butt.
Hmmmm I don't know, which level are you?
I'm at level 18 (the boss was GENIUS) and I've constantly over 200 gold, making 20-30 per level, while a heart is always 5. Actually I don't even know where to spend gold so far, because for blueprints I'm more tight of components generally.
Just crafted a nice armor :)

Have a question since this is the first time I've tried a public beta for an IOS. What happens when the official release becomes available? Do I have to uninstall/unenroll from the beta, or does the full/release update become available automatically?

Install the gm when it comes out and then hastily remove the profile so you don't get 13.2 beta 1.
There was a GM for 13.0, but if you had the beta profile activated you didn't get it because you were already on 13.1.
There is a way... is a bit rough so make a backup just in case... so... Go to Settings, General, Profile. Remove the Beta profile, restart the iPhone, go to Settings, General, Software Update and download away
That was quite a good game!
In other news Sky has been updated with full controller support:
So, now that i have time today i finally could sit down and did some research, read properly, and..... rumours say that a new iPad will unveil in october, if not in march... 5G is in my city already, and iPhone 11 Pro doesnt support it, iPhone 12 will. The 12 should have a redesign and touchID below the whole screen. Im more sold on the iPhone 12 Pro than iPhone 11 Pro with 4G to be honest. Will wait to see if they announce a new iPad next month and if not get an iPad Pro 2018. Also getting a PS4 clip to hold to an iPhone. This Apple Arcade thing has me wanting to upgrade
yeah the Abzu devs have me really hyped for The Pathless. Since they also did Journey as well (some left thatgamecompany and founded this one). And i had no idea Inmost existed at all. Looks amazing! Hope it drops soon!!
microtransactions in Sky are purely cosmetic, you dont need them at all to enjoy the game, and now is even better with a DS4
