An arcade bowling cabinet where the Duo's fold changes your shot
Does Pocket Midway work on iPhone Duo?
In beta, and seen in a recording from the iPhone Duo simulator: the lane sits below the crease and the targets above, and changing the fold changes the shot.
- Simulator verifiedRich Weiss of RDub Studios, the developer, in a submission to FoldHunt on October 24, 2026, and on the Pocket Midway website, with a 26-second capture from the iPhone Duo simulator. The game is in beta on TestFlight, with an App Store release being prepared at a planned $2.99; beta access is on request from the website.

About Pocket Midway
Pocket Midway is an arcade bowling game by Rich Weiss of RDub Studios, the maker of BrainDrain. Flick nine balls up the lane into the rings, chase the hot target that scores double, and turn good rounds into tickets for toys at the prize counter. There are three machines, Boardwalk, Spaceport and Grand Arcade, no ads or third-party tracking, and the core game plays offline.
It was designed around the Duo: partly folded, the lane sits below the crease and the targets above it, and changing the fold changes your shot. It’s in beta on TestFlight for now, with the App Store release planned at $2.99; other iPhones get single-screen play.

Simulator verified · iphone-duo
Watched the website's 26-second gameplay video, which it calls a capture from the iPhone Duo simulator: unframed and upright in the open display's proportions, between captions. Balls roll up the Boardwalk lane into the target board with a Ramp 23° readout beside the lane; then a hot target, the Spaceport and Grand Arcade machines, and the prize booth with the Big Midway Bear.
Poses shown: Open. These are observations of the evidence, not a test of every interaction.
App version: Not recorded in this evidence. Environment: iPhone Duo simulator.
The game hides the status bar and the capture doesn't show the crease or the hinge moving, so how the fold changes the shot can't be told from it. A beta with no version given; no build was tested.
