The idea is to build turrets and walls to fend off the swarms of mouse-like Martians that are supposed to be bugs, I guess? For the most part, the game works well and is fun to play. You can also use the solar energy to add more solar panels so you’ll generate power faster. Each level has you defending the solar tower, which generates energy to build turrets and walls. There’s a lot to like about Frosty Pop’s streamlined take on a tower defense game, called Don’t Bug Me! The art style is clean and appealing, the levels are bite-sized and perfect for mobile play, and the mechanics are mostly intuitive. I do have a walkthrough guide for the rest of the first three constellations if you get stuck, though.

I wish the there was a way to skip that level, but it looks like I’ll be giving up on the game for now. It’s a shame, because I want to play the other puzzles. But the boss battle blocks your way and I really don’t have patience for it, as it lasts quite some time. They’re also optional, since you don’t need all stars to progress to the next area. But I managed to get through any of them that came up so far. I was already not thrilled with the time challenge levels that force you to act quickly. But then I encountered a boss battle, and I can’t continue to the next area without beating it. I was really enjoying it and thought I found my new favorite puzzle game. Most levels are relaxed and let you work everything out at your own pace, with the main challenge being to find the solution using the minimum number of arrows. Sometimes you have to keep them from walking onto spikes, other times you have to prevent them from bumping into the cat-like KapuKapu that want to eat them. It turns out that it’s a little like Lemmings, in that you need to place arrows on the ground to direct adorable ChuChu mice to their rocket ships. I never played a ChuChu Rocket game before, so I didn’t really have any expectations going into ChuChu Rocket! Universe. There’s no shortage of good games in the lineup, but hopefully these roundups will help you decide which ones to focus on first. Some are easy to recommend, but others have issues I’ll touch upon. Today’s roundup includes seven new games that I tried and a few that I’m revisiting. But as I cover more games, I’ll be linking to that coverage here so you can find it all easily. There are already over 70 games available and I’m only one person, so please bear with me. The idea is to include gameplay videos and blurbs to help my readers decide which games to play first. As I make my way through the Apple Arcade games, I’ll be posting my impressions about the games I played since the previous issue.

It’s similar to my weekly roundup called My Week Unwrapped. Hi everyone, and welcome back to my roundups of Apple Arcade games, called Apple Arcade Unwrapped.
