Spaceholes brings retro-arcade excitement to the Apple Watch. Designed specifically for the wearable platform, you use the Digital Crown to navigate your ship through increasingly difficult space tunnels. Experience smooth 60fps gameplay and haptic-enriched action as you strive for a new high score in the palm—or rather, on the wrist—of your hand.

Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

78/100

Spaceholes is a fantastic example of what Apple Watch gaming should be: quick, responsive, and easy to play with one hand. The arcade-style gameplay involves navigating through wormholes and dodging cosmic debris. It utilizes the Digital Crown effectively, providing a tactile precision that you just can't get on a touch screen alone.

The minimalist vector graphics look crisp on the small OLED display, and the haptic feedback when you successfully pass through a 'spacehole' is very satisfying. It’s not a deep epic, but for those 30-second gaps in your day—waiting for an elevator or standing in line—it’s an absolute joy to have on your wrist.

Need more than one life
Wed Feb 22 2023 $urf$killz

Impressed the way it looks and plays. Reminds me of all those times playing Tempest and Galaga in the arcades in the 80’s. BUT, with only a single life it loses its allure rather quickly. We grew up with 3 lives and an extra life when getting to a certain score or level, which game theory suggests it makes us come back for more. Unfortunately with one life I never played again after an hour. So a big star off for that, almost dropped to a 3, but an update with my suggestion would be a solid 5. Graphics look great on the Ultra and game play is solid. Gimme some lives!

Need more than one turn.

I enjoy the game, it reminds me of one of my favorites. I also like the watch version. However, and it’s a big one, I would like more turns before “game over”. Most games give you three tries before ending the game. This would make the game more fun.

Decent Version Of Tempest
Tue Jan 03 2023 Rajramos

I’ve been looking far n wide for Mac/IOS version of Tempest. This game is very good. I’d give it 5 stars if there were versions for Mac and/or iPad. Big thing missing is iPhone version won’t play in landscape mode, no hapt reaction feature, and just the same circular playing field unlike the old arcade version. Glad this game exists but wish a more fully featured version could be developed, especially for Apple Arcade. Happy New Year!

Need more lives
Tue Dec 30 2025 John080171

This is a great little game for Apple Watch, but it’s 100% hampered by only having one life instead of three. You could also have some 1up ships to capture that give you +1 life (optional) but for heavens sake at least give us more lives to start. It makes a great game into a complete bore after a short time. Please look at your reviews and see how many people have asked for this feature.

This game is a game of the week for me and my friends who have played it and are enjoying it as much as they can today but it’s still not as good as it can be

The perfect game

I absolutely love this game. I play when I’m in the bathroom or when I need a little break from work sometimes. Love the way the game was set up, very fun.

What a fun game!

This game has a great, innovative use of the watch crown to make a fun game. I didn't think games could be well adapted to the watch but this app does it well.

Great game

It’s simply a great game and it brings me back to arcade style games design wise. I would recommend it for sure.
