The iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max come with Dynamic Island, which replaces the notch that has been on the iPhone since 2017. Of course, the developers got to work right away and are already finding different ways to use the feature, including new game ideas.
We can say that the evolution of the notch has been expected for a while. With the iPhone 13 series shrinking in size in 2021, users were eagerly waiting to see if the new rumors were true. Dynamic Island looks like one of the biggest changes to the iPhone in years, both hardware and software, and a developer named Kris Smolka is already showing a way it can be used to revolutionize smartphone gaming.
Based on the iconic game Alleyway, in this concept called ‘Hit the Island’, you control a moving platform to hit a ball and you have to hit Dynamic Island for the game to continue.
Who has an iPhone 14 Pro right now? Need to test this on device asap!

With each hit, the game’s color scheme changes, and Dynamic Island shrinks in size, increasing the difficulty of hitting. It’s a clever idea and shows how appealing even something this simple can be for a game.
With this concept, it is actively demonstrated that this island can be used for many different things, from countdown points to light rules to be followed.
