Name change to highlight Kepler Attack is playable on Apple Watch!
Kepler Attack is a premium arcade experience designed specifically for the Apple Watch and iPhone. Inspired by the golden age of space shooters, it pits you against relentless waves of invaders across the Kepler system. The game features silky smooth 60fps performance, haptic feedback, and a unique control scheme using the Digital Crown for movement, making it one of the most immersive games available for wearable tech.

Our Expert Score
Kepler Attack is one of those rare gems that proves the Apple Watch can be a legitimate gaming platform. This is a high-octane space shooter that feels remarkably fluid, running at a crisp 60 frames per second even on the wrist. The decision to utilize the Digital Crown for movement is a stroke of genius, providing a level of tactile precision that touchscreens simply can't match.
On the iPhone, it transforms into a polished portrait-mode shooter that reminds me of the best arcade classics. The wave-based gameplay is challenging but fair, with varied enemy patterns and satisfying power-ups that keep the loop fresh. The 'retro-future' aesthetic—heavy on neon and scanlines—looks fantastic on OLED displays. It’s an perfect 'micro-game' for those moments when you only have a minute to spare but want a high-quality action fix.

By far the best Apple Watch game
Sat Jun 15 2019 El Marko 72Perfect graphics and gameplay for Apple Watch 4. It would be great to encounter a Boss after a set number of levels but I’m enjoying the game as is. Looking forward to seeing the next big update.
An actual video game
Mon Oct 13 2025 Alecto73This is one of those games that is fun and feels like just a game. You open it and you play it. No microtrans barrage. Works very well on watch.
Solid variant on Gyrus
Wed Aug 05 2020 CrunchewyThis plays real nice on Apple Watch. I didn’t like it as much on iPhone. It controls better with the Digital Crown. But I got this mostly for Watch, so that’s fine. Fun variation on the classic arcade game Gyrus. Nice graphics, fun and pretty challenging game. I wish it had more sound effects (and sliders to control volume), but the haptic feedback is cool.
Best Game but...
Sun Jul 14 2019 r1lanceThis is by far the best space shooter available. I have one request. Could you please add more lives? I feel like I can’t ever get very far in the game. My top score is about 100.
Most Fun on Apple Watch
Sun Jun 09 2019 gthomascLove the retro game ascetic. The gameplay is just hard enough to keep coming back for more. Haptic feedback from the Digital Crown pushes the fun factor way up shooting the opponents. Simple, fun game!
