The game hails from award-winning game development studio The Chinese Room, part of Sumo Digital.
From the App Store description:
Little Orpheus is a technicolor side-scrolling adventure game inspired by classic movies like Flash Gordon, Sinbad and The Land that Time Forgot. Delivered in eight bite-size, commute-friendly episodes, Little Orpheus is simple enough for casual players but rich enough for seasoned adventure fans.

With stunning visuals, brilliant acting and a world-class score, Little Orpheus is a pocket-epic you'll never forget.

...but I'm not signing up for Apple Arcade (already did the demo).
Shame they don't offer a simple $4.99-9.99/game purchase option.
Oh well - Zillions of other games.
It’s no wonder that mobile app stores are riddled with in app purchases. They’re catering to a market that wants everything for free. It’s the same problem news sources are having.
I appreciate what Apple is attempting with Arcade, but the damage was done when the first mobile games were free or $1. The market was conditioned at that point.
