The latest iOS 16 has a Dynamic Island feature, which is an island at the top of the iPhone display, and it is exceptionally dynamic in how it interacts with various functions on the iPhone – whether it’s activities, notifications, or alerts. This unique feature is limited to iOS 16 and later versions, as per Apple.
Dynamic Island displays certain information, like when the device is being charged, or AirPods are connected to the iPhone. Also, when you play music on your iPhone, the thumbnail is shown by Dynamic Island, and upon clicking the thumbnail, you will be able to play/pause/change the music.
You can also play various games that use the Dynamic Island functionality. These games are designed for the latest iPhone 14 pro models only. We are here to accompany you if you want to do something cool with your new iPhone. In this article, Let’s discuss the best Dynamic Island games for iPhone 14 pro & Pro Max. Very few games use Dynamic Island functionality, but many more are under development. So without any further ado, Let’s get started.
Best Dynamic Island games for iPhone 14
Few games use Dynamic Island as part of their gameplay. Let us discuss those games briefly:
1. Apollo
If you are a hardcore Reddit user, you might already know this app. Apollo is a third-party Reddit client which offers many features that users usually love. But the developer wanted to add some spice for iPhone users. Apollo introduced a new feature that allows you to add a pet at the top of Dynamic Island.
By default, you get a small cat as your pet. You can change it to the dog as well. But, to unlock other animals, like a fox, an axolotl, or a hedgehog, you have to buy the premium version of this app. The animals will walk around Dynamic Island, sleep for some time, or sit.
A small text which says ‘zzz’ is displayed when the animals sleep. If you want your Dynamic Island converted into a personal space for a little pet cat or dog, download Apollo. You can download the app from here.
If you are a Reddit user and never used Apollo before, then we have listed down some of the best features of Apollo for you:
- Inline previews of media in comments
- Jump Bar, for super-fast hopping between subreddits.
- 3D Touch support
- Filtering and blocking
- Significant or compact posts depending on your preference
- Complete inline Imgur uploading, both images, and albums
- Moderator features
- Face ID / Touch ID / Passcode lock
- Super-charged Media Viewer for a fantastic experience viewing images, GIFs, videos, albums, and more from various sources.
- Compelling Markdown composer for writing comments and posts
2. Hit the Island
Have you ever played a game where you have to hit a ball by moving a small rectangle and breaking all the bricks at the top of the screen? Yeah, the traditional ball and bricks game. Hit the Island is a similar game, but the developers didn’t want to bore the new iPhone users. The ‘Hit the Island game’ uses the latest feature of iOS 16, Dynamic Island.
Instead of the bricks, you have to hit the pill. Every time you hit the pill, you get a point; after every 10 points, the speed of the ball increases. Sometimes, the ball splits into two balls, or the rectangle paddle shrinks to make it harder. You won’t be able to cross the 35-40 point mark. If you are a champion, try getting more than 50 points and comment below.
We came across this app when the developer first tweeted about this game, asking for iPhone 14 users to test it on their iPhones. Let us hope many other games like ‘Hit the Island’ are developed. We will try to update this article as frequently as possible so that you can stay updated with the latest Dynamic-island-using games. You can download this game for free on the app store from here.
Final Words
These are the two games that are available for iPhone 14, iPhone 14 pro and iPhone 14 pro max, which use Dynamic Island as part of their gameplay. As per the developers of many mobile games, many other games that will use Dynamic Island as part of their gameplay are under development. They might release by the end of 2022 or sooner.
