POCKETREX - Your Fitness Tamagotchi on Apple Watch Turn every step into an adventure! PocketRex is a virtual companion that lives or dies based on your daily physical activity. THE CONCEPT Adopt a virtual dinosaur directly on your Apple Watch. But beware: your dino needs YOU to survive! Every step you take keeps it fit. Stay inactive and it will lose muscle... until it's gone. HOW IT WORKS Your steps equal your dino's muscles. The more you walk, the more fit and muscular it becomes. The less you move, the weaker it gets. Three days of inactivity means Game Over. It's simple: move to keep it alive! FEATURES Random Hatching Each egg can give you a dino of different rarity: Common, Rare, Gold, Platinum, or Mythic. Will you be lucky enough to get a Mythic? Real-time Statistics Track muscle percentage, weight, health score, steps today, floors climbed, calories burned, and distance traveled. Unique Personalities Your dino can be Athletic, Lazy, Hungry, or Balanced. Each personality affects its progression! Dynamic Moods Happy, Neutral, Tired, or Sad - its mood reflects your efforts. Global Leaderboard Compare your dino with others from around the world! Climb the leaderboard by keeping your dino alive as long as possible. Candy System Earn candies by reaching your goals. Use them for boosts: Protein Shake, Vitamins, Protective Shield and more. Lucky Wheel Try your luck to win bonus candies! Cemetery Honor the memory of your fallen dinos. Each deceased dino is preserved with its statistics. Progress Charts Track your dino's evolution with detailed graphs. Day and Night Cycle The background changes based on real time with a sun during the day and falling stars at night. DESIGNED FOR APPLE WATCH PocketRex is optimized for Apple Watch. Check on your dino at a glance, right from your wrist. The companion iPhone app displays detailed statistics. DAILY GOALS 5,000 steps for maintenance. 10,000 steps for optimal growth. 15,000 or more steps for a super muscular dino! Stairs count double for muscle. Take the stairs! WHY POCKETREX?
