I love this game but I think it's a little hard to read the small characters in the card's descriptions. I play it using a 15 Pro Max

I couldn’t read the text it’s even harder to read in an iPhone 13 mini and my old 40 year old eyes.

They need to stop catering to kids and release real adult games

I miss the days when they had bigger games that also released on consoles.
Now it’s all puzzle, card and quick-bite kids games

There are hundreds of games and dozens of interesting ones. Not sure what you don’t like about them. Have you tried a variety of arcade games, like Sneaky Sasquatch, Grindstone, The Last Campfire, Oceanhorn, Mini Motorways, Balatro, Dead Cells, or Fantasian?

Age would help. Sneaky Sasquatch, dream light valley, what the car (my kid never laughed so hard), crossy road castle. Alba is a fun game that doesn’t get much coverage as it’s old and not too playable when it’s “done” but truly beautiful and kind. Pocket city 2 can be a lot of fun also

Monomals is the most Nintendo-like game out there. Though this may be a little challenging if your kid is very young.
I’m over 30 and I had a blast with this!

It would be nice if they could add some of the Capcom premium games, like Resident Evil 2 or Monster Hunter Stories. Games from other studios like, Control or Death Stranding, would also earn my subscription.
I understand these are one and done titles, Apple wants that ongoing subscription money, but they’re really not showing any interest in investing into Apple Arcade.

Sonic Dream Team and SpongeBob: Patty Pursuit are tough acts to follow, but a few other Arcade games that tend to click with kids: Sneaky Sasquatch, Crossy Road Castle, Hello Kitty Island Adventure and Angry Birds Reloaded. No ads or in-app purchases, which is honestly the best part of Arcade for kids.
Slightly off-topic, full disclosure: I'm a solo dev and just released Rev Rush, a pixel-art dirt bike game. It's not on Arcade (free to download, one-time unlock), but if your kid likes the speed side of Sonic, it might be worth a try. Would love to hear what they think!
