Learn how to cherish valuable resources.” — App Store Feature ///// Introduction ///// Desertopia is a relaxing and therapeutic idle simulator where you can spend just 5–10 minutes a day transforming a barren desert island into a vibrant, thriving habitat — all at your own pace. Your goal is to care for the island and help restore its wildlife. Occasionally, you’ll need to pick up floating trash to keep the environment clean. You’ll also make decisions about events triggered by human activity. Will you allow a tour group to visit the island? Should you build a resort? Every choice you make will directly influence how the island develops. ///// Features ///// ・Storybook-style art: Simply watching the animals roam the island can feel therapeutic on its own. ・100+ animals: Desertopia features over 100 unique creatures and 25+ terrain types. More than 15 legendary species may appear under special conditions — some only during festivals and holidays! ・Weather and water evaporation: Water evaporation is a unique gameplay mechanic. You’ll need to summon rain regularly to maintain livable conditions for your wildlife. If neglected, the island will gradually revert to a barren desert. ・Multi-layered music: Enjoy rich, evolving background music that shifts depending on the area and the animals inhabiting it. ・Events: Cruise ships bring visitors and special events to the island, each with both benefits and drawbacks. How your island evolves is entirely up to you. //////////////////// This game contains in-game offers to purchase digital goods or premium items with real-world currency (or with virtual coins and other in-game currencies purchasable using real-world money), where players do not know in advance which specific items they will receive (e.g., loot boxes, item packs, or mystery rewards).

How quick are your reflexes? How steady is your hand? How much can you remember? Klicket brings eight minimalist skill games together in one colorful collection. Each has a simple idea, a different challenge and a reason to try again. FOUR NEW CHALLENGES Sort — Catch shapes on a moving conveyor and drag them into matching boxes. Waves get faster, patterns change and the belt reverses direction. Three misses end the run. Split — Cut five shapes into two equal pieces. Curves, corners and holes challenge your eye. Your total area difference is your score: lower is better. Echo — Remember the lit points, then repeat the pattern. Larger grids, more points and shorter times gradually raise the challenge. Tunnel — Keep your finger inside a moving tunnel. Follow its turns and get closer to the edge ahead for more points. Touching a wall or lifting your finger ends the run. THE FOUR ORIGINALS KlickFast — Tap as many times as you can in ten seconds. ReactFast — Wait for the screen to turn black, then react. Three rounds test your response time. DuckTime — Stop the clock just before five seconds. Three rounds, with less error meaning a better score. BlindTime — Aim for ten seconds after the clock disappears. Trust your sense of time across three rounds. MADE FOR ONE MORE TRY • Play all eight games offline. • Keep personal bests on your device. • Compare scores on Game Center leaderboards when signed in and online. • Play on iPhone and iPad, with responsive layouts, sound and haptic feedback.
