Here’s What’s Coming in April
1. Katamari Damacy Rolling LIVE by Bandai Namco Entertainment: On April 3, Katamari Damacy Rolling LIVE, the first new game in the Katamari series in almost eight years, will launch only on Apple Arcade. In this fun adventure, players roll the Katamari to collect objects as instructed by the King of All Cosmos, following the classic “roll, stick, and grow” gameplay. This game joins other Bandai Namco titles on Apple Arcade, such as Taiko no Tatsujin Pop Tap Beat, Tamagotchi Adventure Kingdom, and PAC-MAN Party Royale.
This Apple Arcade exclusive lets players grow their Katamari by rolling up objects from the environment. The game features its signature quirky gameplay, a unique mix of music styles, and a fun twist, players power up the King’s “live stream” by rolling their Katamari to create stars. As they play, comments from in-game fans appear, and the audience grows the longer they continue. Completing challenges from the King and increasing subscriber numbers unlocks exciting new stages.
2. Space Invaders Infinity Gene Evolve by TAITO CORPORATION: The legendary Space Invaders series is back, available only on Apple Arcade. This game blends fast-paced action with easy-to-learn controls. Players can switch between classic mode and an intense shoot-’em-up mode while adjusting to enemy attacks in real time. As they progress, the game evolves from a retro-style shooter into an advanced 3D action game, unlocking stronger ships, including special guest fighters from TAITO classics like Darius, Night Striker, and RayStorm.
3. Puffies by Lykke Studios: An easy-going puzzle game that takes jigsaw puzzles in a whole new light with the addition of puffy stickers. Players earn their sticker packs, solve hand-crafted puzzles, and compete in daily challenges to climb the leaderboards.
4. RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic+ by Atari: This remastered version combines the best from both RollerCoaster Tycoon and RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, allowing players to design and manage the amusement park of their dreams. It features three expansion packs: Wacky Worlds, Time Twister, and Toolkit, and is playable on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
5. The Game of Life 2+ by Marmalade Game Studio: A digital version of the classic board game offering life decisions. Players can select the different life paths, careers, and adventures they want, such as dolphin trainers or quantum mechanics. There is also a futuristic outfit of P.E.G. that is kind of exclusive to Apple Arcade.
