Squishy is an oddly satisfying fruit ASMR toy for your iPhone. Tap, hold, drag, pop, press, and burst your way through a shelf of juicy fruit. Each fruit has its own sound, visual style, and haptic feel, turning your iPhone into a tiny tactile squish machine. Start with simple fruit, earn Squish Points, unlock new favourites, and discover premium fruit with richer feedback.

Release for the squish.
