Roll, dress up, collect — slowly Spend the coins you earned by focusing on rolls, and dress your buddy in looks you love. From common to mythic, fill a wardrobe that's the two of yours. Focus soundscapes & lo-fi Reach for calm focus soundscapes when you need to lock in, or switch to lo-fi when you want to loosen up. Pick one, turn the world down, and stay a while. It can sense you're truly focused (optional) Turn on camera mode and your buddy quietly senses your focus — entirely on your device.
