Retrocade on Apple Arcade

TEMPEST has been added to the Retrocade app on Apple Arcade.

The newest addition introduces one of the most distinctive arcade shooters ever created, known for its fast-paced gameplay and striking vector graphics.

With the arrival of Tempest, Retrocade now features 12 classic arcade experiences, each optimized for quick play sessions, global leaderboards and unlockable achievements::

ASTEROIDS – Blast through space in iconic, geometric vector style

BUBBLE BOBBLE – Trap enemies in bubbles and help Bub & Bob rescue their girlfriends

BREAKOUT – Smash every brick with precise paddle control

CENTIPEDE – Stop the insect swarm with trackball precision

DIG DUG: Control Dig Dug to spear and pop monsters, crush with rocks, and score big!

FROGGER – Dodge highway traffic and treacherous rivers to hop your way home

GALAGA – New fighter with rapid-fire missiles battles aliens; rescue ships for dual fire!

HAUNTED CASTLE – Whip your way through Dracula’s domain to save your bride

PAC-MAN – Players clear stages by eating Pac-Dots while avoiding four unique ghosts.

SPACE INVADERS – Defend Earth from wave after wave of Invader attack

TEMPEST – Survive the spinning vortex of this high-speed vector shooter. 

TRACK & FIELD – Shatter world records with rapid-fire button mashing

The gang at Resolution Games says they’ll continue to expand Retrocade with additional updates and ongoing improvements in the future.

As I’ve said before, I really like Retrocade. However, I wish it ran natively on the Mac.
