Apple Arcade Weekly Round-Up: Updates for Taiko, Simon’s Cat, Jetpack Joyride 2, Castle Crumble, and More Out Now

This week, many notable games on Apple Arcade have gotten updates. If you’re wondering why there is no new game this week, Apple pushed out a few Apple Arcade Originals and App Store Greats together earlier this month. Read about that here. Today’s updates include a few games I enjoy quite a bit as well. Let’s get into them. Taiko no Tatsujin: Pop Tap Beat 1.13.0 brings in five new songs today including Mayonakano DOA-Stay With Me, Stone Ocean, Rare Hero, Nainainai, and Jojo Sono Chi no Sadame. Garden Tails brings in five new animals, one new garden, one new story, and 120 levels with today’s update. Simon’s Cat – Story Time House Story Chapter 2 arrives today with 25 new levels coming each week. Jetpack Joyride 2 now has Prestige letting you partially reset your progress for exclusive rewards, new story levels, a new avatar, and more today.

Temple Run: Puzzle Adventure Mirror Story continues with 60 new puzzles and tournaments. An iPad rotation bug has also been fixed with today’s update. Sneaky Sasquatch adds in VR goggles, three new virtual characters, a new kind of virtual food, and more today with the developers confirming more updates coming soon.
