About this app

An animated retro arcade watch face for Wear OS: an old, curved picture tube glows on your wrist with a game in chunky pixel art and the digital time in big pixel digits you can read at a glance. Two rows of little alien critters wiggle across the top, your ship waits on the ground line under a field of stars, and the whole screen glows like a real tube, with scanlines and a soft bloom.

KEY FEATURES
• Tap to fire: tap the watch face and your ship shoots, a critter bursts into pixels and the points float up where it was.
• Every hour, a visitor: as the hour turns, a mothership glides across the top of the screen and the critters flash.
• Always on the move: the aliens swap their pose once a second, and a few stars twinkle.
• Three palettes: green phosphor, amber or multicolor arcade.
• A score row under the time shows your steps, unread notifications and battery.
• Easy on the battery: nothing moves faster than once a second, and the shot and the mothership play only on a tap and on the hour.

MAKE IT YOURS
• Palette: green phosphor, amber or multicolor.
• Time: 12- or 24-hour, as your watch is set.
• Three complications in the score row: steps, unread notifications and battery by default. Put another app's complication there and it shows that app's icon, or its title where it sends no icon.

ALWAYS-ON DISPLAY
Always-on shows only the time, in dim digits on black.

COMPATIBILITY
Works on Wear OS 6 or later, such as Galaxy Watch models updated to One UI 8 Watch and Pixel Watch. Made in Watch Face Format: no permissions, no data collected.

HOW TO INSTALL
1. Install it from Google Play on your watch, or tap Install on my watch in the phone app.
2. Touch and hold your watch face, swipe to The Arcade and tap it. To customize, touch and hold it, then tap Customize.
