Piffle, or more accurately, Piffle+ (it’s a free IAP-less Apple Arcade version of an IAP’d game), is a simple arcade puzzle-ish game that is a bit Breakout and a bit Peggle. You throw balls (which are cat heads) upwards at blocks, destroy as many as you can, and then they all move down a row before you have another go.
Different blocks have different properties, like they can only be hit from certain directions, or they replicate, or they capture your balls, and your balls can augmented with powers like additional strength or explosives, in the same sort of way most Match-3 games are these days. Clearly extra balls and powers were how the in-app purchases worked in the non-Apple Arcade version.
Anyway, it’s a bit mindless and isn’t exactly taxing on the puzzle muscles, but it whiled away some time.
