This game kept me locked in for hours on end, so many fun quests to do and different areas on the map. I’ve truly enjoyed this game more than any other I have downloaded on my phones and tablets, great job with this one its such a great app ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-06-07, version 1.48.2* Very nice ### 5/5 — New Pocket God! *2026-05-23, version 1.48.2* Really a top tier game for its time and if they made a newer updated version and kept up with it, kept the “rock paper scissors” type thing at the end of the first one, I’d never put it down ### 1/5 — No sound ruins game *2026-04-16, version 1.48.2* This bug that removes all sound and audio from the game really kills it. So disappointing. This game used to be amazing years ago. ### 5/5 — WHERE IS THE UPDATE? *2026-04-05, version 1.48.2* GIVE US THE UPDATE! ### 5/5 — Nostalgia I like it *2026-03-15, version 1.48.2* lol that one guy saying there’s No sound bro ur phone on silent. Game has sound and is good ### 5/5 — Simply Goated *2026-03-10, version 1.48.2* This app is currently sitting at top 32 of the paid apps category. This app hasn’t had an update in 10 years. That’s how you know this is an oldy but a goody. ### 5/5 — Pure Nostalgia *2026-02-24, version 1.48.2* I loved every bit of the game, the mass nostalgia and i wonder if there’s gonna be more ### 5/5 — Double Rainbow *2025-12-18, version 1.48.2* I’m not sure who showed me this app when I first downloaded it back in 2012, but omg, seeing a double rainbow while I was at the beach literally made that game pop into my mind and I had to redownload it 😂 the nostalgia, such a funny game ### 4/5 — No sound when playing on a tablet *2025-12-02, version 1.48.2* I love this game! It’s great that it’s been updated! Sadly I can’t enjoy it on my tablet like I can on my phone. ## Frequently asked questions about Pocket God ### What is Pocket God?

If you’ve lost your data, we’ve included a fix. In Challenge Options (accessible from the opening screen), there are two new buttons. “Unlock All Challenges” will automatically unlock idols for all episode challenges and “Level Up All Idols” to set all idols to 20. We apologize for any inconvenience. For those of you who haven't lost your save data, Merry Christmas you can now unlock all your challenges and max out your idols. Episode 48: Call of Booty By popular demand, we introduce to you a whole new update with a vast new undersea area! Find water wings lying around on an island, put them on a pygmy, and he’ll dive in! Explore the depths of the ocean while hunting for hidden treasure. Use the map to locate pieces of booty while avoiding mines that turn pygmies to stone, face-huggers that impregnate you with their young, and hungry oysters that lurk on the ocean floor. Finding the first piece of booty, kicks off the mini-game and gets the attention of the face-huggers who will start to chase you. Swim and swerve to avoid them! Also, the area wraps so even if the treasure is behind you, the best strategy MAY BE to forge ahead until the treasure cross the screen to the front of you. But be warned, time is limited while the mini-game is going and the pygmy can run out of air. Collecting treasure trapped in air bubbles renews his oxygen supply. There are 20 pieces of booty to find. Can you collect them all? Be sure to take the Episode 48 God Challenge to earn the Oyster God idol!

A Monster Ate My Condo gets more nods when you turn the Dodo into a Dodo/Reginald Starfire hybrid, the Doodler into Mr. Shigoto, and, weirdest of all, the shark into the Geisha Finger! Pay homage to Amateur Surgeon by splatting the islands with blood, or by using a hypodermic needle as a spear. The island's moon can be turned into the Robot Unicorn Crystal Star! And more! In response, pygmies make a cameo in Adult Swim Games' hit iOS game, Amateur Surgeon! Alan Probe must perform surgery on Baby Awoogah, a killer whale.
