Here’s another attempt at gaming on a smartwatch that mostly gets it right, but again lacks in the audio department.

Bit Soccer works only on Apple Watch. The object is to dribble a soccer ball down the field, dodging opponents and picking up trophies along the way. To maneuver, simply turn the Digital Crown to move your player up or down, and a red exclamatio­n point on the right edge of the screen gives you a heads-up when an opponent is coming, providing ample time for you to get out of the way and carry on running.

Bit Soccer is a fun way to kill a few minutes, and because the sound effects are limited to a simple three-tone melody whenever an opponent stops you in your tracks, it’s good for not disturbing those around you; we do wish there were a few more sounds to enjoy, though. the bottom line. Bit Soccer is one of the better Apple Watch games we’ve seen, but could use a bit more audio.
