Batwalk is a cozy collectible-pet game that lives on your Apple Watch. Walk, and your steps hatch eggs. Eggs hatch bats. Bats become your companion. HOW IT WORKS • Pick an egg and go about your day. Your daily steps count toward hatching it — Batwalk reads only your daily Step Count from Apple Health. • Enable hatch alerts to get a tap when your egg is ready. Turn the Digital Crown or tap to crack the shell and meet your new bat. • Your bat sleeps by day and wakes at dusk, following your local time. Pet it, feed it the fruit you find on walks, and grow your Friendship from Lv.1 to Lv.5. A COLLECTION WORTH WALKING FOR • 20 bat species to meet, from Mochi and Cocoa to the rare Legendaries, each drawn in Gentle pixel art made to be readable at wrist size. • Every species has a Shiny variant. Duplicates deepen your Friendship, and Moon Dust lets you call a bat you haven’t met yet. • The iPhone app is your Batpedia: browse every bat you’ve hatched, read what its real-life cousin does, look back at your hatch history, and share your favourites. NO GUILT, EVER • No death, no hunger, no streaks, no energy, no timers. • Nothing to buy except more bats: a single one-time unlock opens all five egg types and every species. No subscriptions, no ads, nothing random for sale. • Works with your iPhone left at home. The game runs entirely on your Watch. PRIVACY FIRST • Batwalk reads your daily Step Count only, with your permission, and never writes to Health. • Your steps stay on your devices. Batwalk has no account system, advertising, or developer-run servers. Requires an Apple Watch with watchOS 10 or later, paired with an iPhone running iOS 17 or later.

Verdict

The call

Hello Kitty Friends Match's advantage is ratings volume (575 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
