Arcadalo

Fifteen original arcade games, drawn in light.

Arcadalo is a cabinet of fifteen arcade games built entirely from scratch: a paddle duel, a brick-breaker, four different shooters, a pinball table, a rhythm game, a lander, a tower defence and a swarm survival that plays like nothing else on the store. Nothing is licensed and nothing is borrowed: every shape is drawn live as a glowing neon stroke on ink-black, and every tune is generated by the app itself.

Every run is built differently.

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. Some are stronger together. No two runs play alike, and a good run feels like something you built.

Every game is a ladder, too. The first stage is gentle enough for your very first run, and each stage after adds exactly one new thing, while the speed never stops climbing.

Choosing one of three perks between levels in Arcadalo

A boss, a rival or a twist in every game.

A mothership in Void Runner and the Dreadnought in Sky Squadron. A Hive Queen in Swarm. A rival coil racing you for the pickups, a barrier rising across Rally's court, Rush Hour in Hop Rush and the Big Mole in Burrow. Each boss gives a clear warning before it attacks, so a loss is always something you can learn from.

Then there's something new every day: a Daily Run with one game, a twist and a free head start, the same for everyone. A Weekly Gauntlet of five games on one score, and Boss Rush: five bosses, back to back.

Fifteen games, zero excuses.

  • SwarmSurvive a crowd closing in from every side while your ship fires itself. A Hive Queen arrives every two minutes.
  • PulseTap the beat. Your taps play the tune, and every tune is made as you go.
  • SlipstreamThread the traffic. Pass close for points, draft behind a car for a slingshot.
  • Drift LanderEase the craft onto a safe pad, or risk the narrow gold one worth three times as much.
  • OutpostA tower defence with no fixed path. Build walls to decide where the enemy may walk, then hold the line.
  • RallyA paddle duel with a barrier that rises mid-court. Free forever.
  • ShatterballClear the bricks, chain a combo, bank shots off the walls. Free forever.
  • CoilA growing trail, and a rival that races you for the pickups. Free forever.
  • Star SentryRows of enemies march down. Shoot the supply drone to rebuild a shield.
  • Void RunnerDrift with real momentum and face a mothership every fifth wave.
  • Sky SquadronA swaying formation dives at you, and a Dreadnought guards every fifth wave.
  • Last LineTelegraphed missiles, a real blast radius, and a Nova satellite to charge.
  • Hop RushCross the traffic, then the river, then survive Rush Hour.
  • BurrowTap the creatures before they duck. Beware the decoys and the Big Mole.
  • Flipper FrenzyA real physics pinball table with an end-of-ball bonus.

Rally, Shatterball and Coil are free forever. Every other game gives you three free runs, and a different game is free for everybody each day.

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. After a run, challenge friends through Game Center to beat your score before the time runs out.
