This classic mobile game series returns thanks to Apple ArcadeRed and the gang are back once more, as Rovio announces its newest title, Angry Birds Bounce , exclusively for Apple Arcade . This is the first new Angry Birds game since Sega acquired the studio in 2023, and it mixes classic characters and mechanics with arcade-style precision. Angry Birds Bounce flips the franchise on its side, literally, as you use the iconic slingshot to launch your legion of birds at pigs in a brick breaker style. It features strategic, rogue-lite gameplay and a range of combos and power-ups to explore as you help the birds take back their island from the pigs. Like all the other Apple Arcade games , Angry Birds Bounce is a premium, ad-free experience, so you don’t have to worry about interruptions. As well as returning Angry Birds characters , you’ll get to meet two new additions to the flock: Jo and Gordon. Jo is Angry Birds’ first playable nonbinary character who first appeared during Pride Month in 2023, but now has a fully fleshed-out backstory and new abilities. All we know about Gordon so far is that he’s a blue bird “inspired by the creativity and flair of Rovio’s Toronto studio.” Continue reading This classic mobile game series returns thanks to Apple Arcade MORE FROM POCKET TACTICS: Best Apple Arcade games , Best iPhone games , Every Apple Arcade game

We talked to the Infinity Nikki devs about 1.5, and the silence is loudAt this point, we all know about the disastrous Infinity Nikki 1.5 update. I mean, everyone and their grandma has covered it. What was supposed to be a milestone expansion ended up tanking this beloved game’s reputation, introducing increased max pity, broken features, a smorgasbord of bugs, and more. So, naturally, when Infold offered me a chance at an Infinity Nikki interview , I jumped at it. I really love this game, and I thought this was a perfect opportunity to clear the air a little. But, if you’re someone who’s been following the fallout from this catastrophe, you can probably guess how it went. Unfortunately, the Infinity Nikki developers skipped six out of the ten questions I sent to them. The PR I was in contact with informed me "where they haven't answered a question - which is likely one about monetization - they have decided to respond with no comment. Unfortunately, they're not able to discuss monetization at this point." However, while we did ask about recent concerns regarding monetization practices, such as the increased number of pieces that made up the five-star outfits on the 1.5 Infinity Nikki banners , several of the skipped questions actually address the retcons to the narrative, inspiration for clothing and areas, the upcoming player island and house, and more.

This Honkai Star Rail bug ensures Blade will never reach that paradiseWith recent confirmation of HSR’s first few five-star characters getting buffs, we’ve been eagerly awaiting information on what this could mean. Now, thanks to an odd Honkai Star Rail bug in the 3.4 beta, it appears that it means poor old Blade can’t reach that paradise, no matter how he tries. In a livestream earlier this year, Hoyoverse confirmed that Blade, Kafka , Silver Wolf , and Jingliu were going to receive buffs to bring them in line with later, absolutely cracked characters. The main change in Honkai Star Rail Blade ’s kit is that the boost from his skill’s taunt value is doubled from 500% to 1000%. This means he’ll get hit a lot more, but that’s kind of his whole thing, as he has a follow-up move. However, it seems during the testing phase for these changes, Blade has become the ‘victim’ - though we use the term lightly - of a new bug.
