Pong-Style 'Hit the Island' Game Now Available for iPhone 14 Pro
Friday September 16, 2022 10:23 am PDT by Juli Clover
Apple is allowing third-party developers to create apps and experiences that take advantage of the new Dynamic Island on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, and developers are already coming up with unique ways to use it.
The free app gives you a point each time you score a hit on the Dynamic Island, which reacts and animates when it's struck. As you send the ball careening into the Dynamic Island, the game speeds up and you can face multiple balls at one time, or a shrinking paddle.
The game can be downloaded on the iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max as of today, and it is also available on other iPhones, with a goal of hitting the notch instead of the Dynamic Island.Get weekly top MacRumors stories in your inbox.

I'm surprised Apple let this through but really glad they did because it would suggest there could be more little fun games in the future. Sometimes it's the simple games that are the most fun, the one's you can just pick up and play for a few minutes.
