Got Games on Your Apple Watch?
summary
Abylight Studios builds Minekeeper: The Lurking Fear, a native 3D Apple Watch game released with the watch App Store on 19 Sept 2019 and featured on the storefront; Unity is unusable so a lightweight visual editor called Providence engine plus Xcode and SpriteKit create levels that run on watchOS 6; the game ships 50 bite-sized levels across four locations, uses digital crown control and one-finger input, targets ~30–45s sessions, proves 3D games are viable on the watch with acceptable battery and good visibility.
