# A Small Garden a Cat Comes to Visit Enjoy a quiet, cozy day as you bond with a cat in your garden. Window Meow is a heartwarming healing sim where cats visit your window and gentle bonds begin. # Where Little Bonds Begin With food, water, treats, and play, the cat gradually starts to open its heart to you. Add cat furniture to your garden, and shy, hard-to-find cats may slowly come out to visit. # Capture Precious Cat Moments Take photos of the cats that visit your garden and neighborhood, decorate them with cute stickers, and create your very own cat album. Even cats that only stop by for a while are more likely to return if you capture them in photos. # The Moment the Heart Door Opens As you continue bonding with a cat, its closed Heart Door slowly—before you even realize it—begins to open wide. In that moment, a special “Chosen” event occurs— the cat chooses you, and you become its caretaker. # Living Together Once a cat becomes part of your family, you can share a new daily life together—even in your room. Set up furniture for your cat, and watch its adorable, affectionate side that only appears indoors. Put on outfits, chat with your cat, and go through the day’s little tasks together as your bond grows deeper. # Little Rewards & Changing Seasons From daily login and event rewards, to limited outfits from the Season Pass, and even seasonal packages that transform your garden. As your garden gently changes day by day, enjoy building a quiet, daily life with your cat. # The Moment a Cat Chooses You There’s no need to rush. Like a small miracle that comes after waiting, one day a cat will come to you and place its heart in your care. A heartwarming healing sim about life and bonds with cats Window Meow

One orb. Two rings. One tap. Orbinaut is a pick-up-and-play arcade game about staying alive. Your orb races endlessly around glowing neon rings — tap anywhere to hop between lanes, dodge the spikes, and grab gems for bonus points. Every run starts gentle and gets faster, until one wrong hop ends it all. Simple to learn, hard to master. Rounds last under two minutes, restarts are instant, and your high score is always on screen daring you to beat it. HOW TO PLAY • Tap anywhere to hop between the inner and outer ring • Dodge the spikes — one touch ends your run • Collect gems, grab the rare bonus star, and ride the shield • Survive as the speed climbs and the rings shift colour FEATURES • One-touch controls anyone can pick up — great for all ages • Daily Challenge: one shared board for the whole world, every day • Level up every 20 points as the rings change colour and the pace rises • REVERSE rounds that flip your direction (always with a warning!) • A shield power-up that lets you bulldoze through spikes • Crashed? Use an extra life and keep your best run alive • Game Center leaderboards — take on the world's best Orbinauts • 8 achievements to unlock • High score and stats sync across your devices with iCloud • Slick neon visuals, satisfying haptics and arcade sound • Game controller support and iOS Game Mode • No ads.
