You and an elite team of Space Marines are sent to the distant Deimos science station to provide security and investigate recent happenings on the moon outpost. Upon arrival you quickly discover that not all is as it seems... You and your team of marines will have to investigate the various corridors of the Deimos science station to determine what is going on. Along the way you will be presented which choices, and the choices you make will determine how the game plays out. You will also find different items, weapons, and armors along the way to help on your quest. There will also be dangerous enemies waiting for you to fight throughout the station! It's classic roleplaying adventure mixed with the convenience of mobile! And who can beat a free game? Deimos is an action and story driven mobile role playing adventure game based on the acclaimed Level Up RPG engine by Ape Apps. The game is designed with mobile users in mind, built for easy pick up and play. Simple controls and an encompassing storyline will make Deimos a must have for your iOS app game library! Deimos takes a simplified approach to the RPG genre. It is made in a way that is quick to pick up and learn, and you should be able to play for either a few minutes, or a few hours. After a while, it can get addicting. Like other role playing games, you travel and find different items and weapons and put them to use while fighting off baddies. Watch your health and energy and try to survive. Deimos is designed to be easy to play for users of all ages, from kids to adults. This is not a complicated RPG so anybody should be able to master it quickly. It also runs well on both handset and tablet devices. If you like Deimos and this style of mobile role playing game, then you should try my other mobile RPG called Level Up RPG, a role playing game on which Deimos was based.

Carry a Pomeranian in your pocket. A virtual pet who knows your weather, your neighborhood, your routine — and grows a real personality, generated privately on your iPhone. No ads, ever. A PERSONALITY THAT ACTUALLY EVOLVES Six traits drift with how you play — feeding, walking, grooming, even how you tap. Hold a trait long enough and it crystallizes into a permanent named identity, from Velcro Pom to Sass Master. Twelve exist; each Pom can earn three. Even their bark drifts as they grow. Dreams, journal entries, and musings are written on-device by Apple Intelligence — nothing about your Pom ever leaves your phone. NO GUILT, EVER There is no death state. If life pulls you away, and you don't use the Day Care, the Pomeranian Rescue Network keeps your Pom safe until you return — same Pom, full health, happy to see you. STEP INTO THE BACKYARD A painted yard of your own, drifting from day to dusk, with a squirrel who becomes a friend. Housetrain them gently, at your pace, to a proud graduation bandana. A live heartbeat monitor shows their wellness at a glance — and if they catch a mild sniffle (you choose: Off, Rare, or Normal), the Pomerania Wellness Center treats them free, always. A FULL LIFE TOGETHER Nine painted walk destinations, day and night, with friends whose bonds deepen across visits. Eight cinematic bath bombs across the seasons. Nine tricks to teach — plus a hidden tenth — and eighteen combos to discover. 999 levels of Puff Pop and five more mini-games. Four tiers of Pom Shows, with The Pom Press newsletter delivering the post-show gossip. YOUR POM WRITES YOU LETTERS Paper Pom turns your Pom into a correspondent: 16,118 letters across birthdays, holidays, and just-because, on 63 stationery styles spanning 32 holidays. Personalize one and share it. A COZY MYSTERY Fluffpuffy Cove is a 13-episode season told in your Pom's voice — 133 scenes, 82 branching choices, 46 clues — adapting to how you investigate. Episodes 1–3 are free; the rest unlock with a one-time pass or The Fluff Society. TINY FRIENDS A caterpillar cocoons over real days and emerges as a butterfly at your touch. A spider spins a web across six real hours. Fireflies drift at night. A bird claims its own perch. A WORLD THAT KNOWS YOURS Eighteen detected environments — cafe, gym, beach, even mid-flight — plus real weather and true sunrise and sunset shape every scene. Game still works fully without location access. BEYOND THE PHONE An Apple Watch app with native mini-games and a watch-face complication. Interactive widgets. Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. AR mode. A 32-scene Photo Booth. Ten Siri shortcuts. Spotlight. QUIETLY CRAFTED Every sound is synthesized on your device — zero recordings. 55 haptic patterns. VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, Differentiate Without Color, and Relaxed Timing, which removes time pressure entirely. NO ADS. NO TRACKING. NO ACCOUNT. Analytics are anonymous with an off switch. AI runs on-device. Your Pom is yours. THE FLUFF SOCIETY An optional auto-renewable monthly subscription adding daily coin rewards, weekly gems and wellness treatment credits, Fluffpuffy Cove episodes 4+, an exclusive trading card theme, six Photo Booth scenes, and a shareable Membership Card.
