Add your games

Spatial Arcade comes with one game, Target Range, ready to play. It doesn't sell or download any other game: for those, you copy your own game files into the app's folder in iCloud Drive.

1. Make sure you're signed in to iCloud with iCloud Drive turned on.
2. Open Spatial Arcade once. It creates the folder iCloud Drive › Spatial Arcade, with a README inside.
3. Copy your game files (.zip) into that folder: with the Files app on iPhone or Apple Vision Pro, or with Finder on a Mac. Leave each file as it is, still zipped and with its original name: the app recognises games by their file name. A folder one level down works too.
4. Open Games in Spatial Arcade. While a file is still coming down from iCloud, its card says Downloading….

On Apple Vision Pro, Settings › Games Folder shows where the app is looking and how many games it found. From there you can Open in Files, Choose Another Folder… to use a different folder, go back with Use iCloud Drive, or Look Again after copying new files.

Controllers

PS VR2 Sense controllers (Apple Vision Pro)

1. On Apple Vision Pro, open Settings › Bluetooth.
2. Put each controller in pairing mode: hold the PS button with the Create button (left controller) or the Options button (right controller) until its light blinks, then select it in the list.
3. Open Spatial Arcade. The controllers are picked up automatically, even if you pair them while the app is open. Settings › Controls › Controllers shows what's connected.

Aim at the screen and pull the trigger to fire. You'll feel the recoil on every shot. Turn on Laser Sight in Settings › Controls to see where you're aiming.

Reloading

Shoot off-screen to reload, like on the cabinet. On iPhone, tap Reload, or shoot outside the picture.

Without a Sense controller

• Look and pinch to shoot. Coin and Start float under the screen.
• A game controller: the right stick aims and R2 fires. The app lists each game's buttons on its page in Games.
• iPhone: tap or hold the picture to fire and drag to aim. Coin is at the left, Start at the right.

Leaving the game

Press both sticks at once to leave the theater. If the screen ends up off to one side, press and hold the Digital Crown to bring it back in front of you.

Play together with SharePlay

1. Start a FaceTime call with your friend. Each of you needs Spatial Arcade, and for any game other than Target Range, your own copy of the game file.
2. In Games, choose the game and tap SharePlay under Play Together. You can also use the share button to invite someone nearby.
3. You're Player 1; your friend joins as Player 2. The game opens on both devices once you're both ready.

It works between two Vision Pro, a Vision Pro and an iPhone, or two iPhones. If one of you pauses, the game pauses for both. If your partner leaves, you can Continue Alone or Quit.

Screen and 3D (Apple Vision Pro)

These live in Settings. Some rows only appear when the selected game supports them; Target Range is a 2D game, so it doesn't show the 3D and panoramic options.

• Screen › Size: Small (about 2.5 m wide, 3 m away, nearly flat), Medium (about 4 m wide, 4 m away, gently curved) or Large (about 6 m wide, 5 m away, curved around you).
• Screen › Format: Standard or Panoramic. Panoramic shows the game's world on an ultra-wide curve around you; turn your head to see more. Panoramic Fit chooses Full Height or Crop.
• Screen › Environment: Your Room, or Dark Theater.
• Picture › 3D: stereoscopic 3D, drawn by the game for each eye. Under Advanced 3D, Strength and Depth adjust how deep it looks and how far things come out of the screen.
• Picture › Sharpen: brings back detail in soft textures.
